LCJI intervals achieve consonance through alignment of [[Partial|partials]] if the interval has [[Harmonic timbre|harmonic timbre]]. In fact, alignment of partials is a stronger effect with harmonic timbre: if partials align at frequency n, they will also align at every multiple of n; and in addition, two notes whose partials align with the same root note will also have partials aligning with each other. This allows for the construction of just-intonation chords of more than two notes where every comprising interval is a consonance.
