A friend of mine is in the process of translating an article, 'Musical
analysis versus musical hermeneutics,' into French and has run into some
difficulties. In particular, she would like to know what "Pc set" and "R1
and R2" mean in the following excerpt:

Two 8-element sets are formed in the first two measures : 8-27 and 8-13.
Each contains its complement Pc set 4.27 is the sustained sonority in the
lower parts in measure 42, while 4-13 is the melodic figure connecting
6-Z50 and 6-27 in mesure 43... Pc sets 4-13 and 4-27 (and their
complements) form part of the R1 and R2 transitive quadruple cited in
section 2.6.

Can anybody help her out? Thanks in advance!

Howard
