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.

== Linear Tones ==
=== Formula ===
In order to find what tones line up with the chord, the resulting tone must either be
In order to find what tones line up with the chord, the resulting tone must either be
# The number up/down whatever octaves [h*(2^x)]. (''e.g., 1/4, 3/6, 26/13'')
# The number up/down whatever octaves [h*(2^x)]. (''e.g., 1/4, 3/6, 26/13'')

Thus, by these rules, it cannot line up if it results in any other harmonic/interval.

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.
