Can you start on ANY number?
Surely the prime form would start on the lowest interval and then the next shortest, and so on?

[@polkapaul]

Yes, the most compact ordering of the set can begin on any number. To find the prime form, you then transpose the set so it begins on zero and goes in ascending order.
