Ziffers provides shorthands for **many** numeric and algorithimic operations such as evaluating random numbers and creating sequences using list operations:
|
||||
|

* **List operations:** <icode>(3 2 1)+(2 5)</icode> Cartesian operation using + operator (All javascript operators supported).
|

* **Random numbers:** <icode>(4,6)</icode> Random number between 4 and 6

## Keys and scales
|
||||
|
||||
Ziffers supports all the keys and scales. Keys can be defined by using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation" target="_blank">scientific pitch notation</a>, for example 'F3'. Western style (1490 scales) can be with scale names named after greek modes and extended by William Zeitler (see full <a href="https://ianring.com/musictheory/scales/traditions/zeitler" target="_blank">list</a>):
