Hi Kelly, ... I'd guess that the strongest beats would be those between the strongest partial tones in the chord. So if any difference does coincide with, or...

Hi Kelly, ... The way I count, seems like you actually need SIX dimensions to cover your different variables. Now try to visualise them as being orthogonal!...
I'm sure you've noticed that a four-note train whistle is approximately a minor seventh chord (something like e3-g3-b3-d4. Please don't ask me how it's tuned!...

Hi Kelly, I don't think this theory is a good predictor of consonance in general - consider when two same ratios are stacked on top of each other. This is ...

Hi Kelly, ... No need. I'm talking of an _instrument_ that produces only the first, third, fifth, seventh, etc multiples of the fundamental tone as overtones ...
