What is the name of symbol use to describe a set pitches?

There isn't one single symbol used to describe a set of pitches. However, there are different ways to represent them depending on the context:

1. Notation:

* Braces: You can use braces to enclose the pitches, like this: {C, D, E, F, G, A, B}.

* Parentheses: Similar to braces, parentheses can also be used: (C, D, E, F, G, A, B).

* Lists: A simple list of pitches can be used as well: C, D, E, F, G, A, B.

2. Musical Symbols:

* Note heads: Individual notes can be written on a staff to represent the pitches.

* Chord symbols: If the set of pitches form a chord, a chord symbol can be used to represent it.

* Diagrams: In some cases, diagrams can be used to represent the pitches and their relationships.

3. Mathematical Notation:

* Sets: In set theory, a set of pitches can be represented using set notation: {C, D, E, F, G, A, B}.

* Intervals: Intervals can be used to describe the relationships between the pitches in a set.

4. Other:

* Pitch class sets: In music theory, a pitch class set is a specific way to represent a set of pitches using a specific mathematical notation.

The best way to represent a set of pitches depends on the specific context and the intended meaning.
