Here is a listing of the book's most important tables. As we analyze post-tonal music, we often return to these tables – especially the List of Set Classes.

1. Set Class List
• List of Set Classes, pp. 378-381
  
2. Inversion (T_nI, or I_n)
   
• The 12 possible inversions; i.e., pc mappings under T_nI, p. 61
• The 12 possible axes of inversional symmetry, p. 240
3. Set Class Symmetry under T_n/T_nI
   
• T_n-symmetrical set classes, p. 101
• T_nI-symmetrical set classes, p. 111
  (with more than 1 degree of inversional symmetry)
4. TC Property
• Tetrachords with the transpositional combination property, p. 126
5. Contour Classes

6. Interval Cycles
• Interval cycles, p. 164
7. Maximal Evenness
• Maximally even set classes, pp. 170-171
