Okay, so a while back, I had developed this method of finding how consonant a chord was. The basic idea was to find how many combination/difference tones lined up with a chord. | Okay, so a while back, I had developed this method of finding how consonant a chord was.

When it comes to just one chord, though, it'd be best to rely on which note most of the linear tones are found. For example, 9:11:13 in the last headliner had most of its linear tones occur on 9, so since 3 linear tones appeared on 9, we can say that the harmonal limit is 3. | When it comes to just one chord, though, it'd be best to rely on which note most of the linear tones are found.
