If ''n''/''d'' is a positive rational number reduced to its lowest terms, then the [[Benedetti height]] is the integer ''nd''. Often it is more convenient instead to take the logarithm, usually base 2 ([[log2]]), of the [[Benedetti height]], leading to '''Tenney height'''. In either form, it is widely used as a [[measure of inharmonicity]] and/or complexity for intervals. Alternative terms used include '''harmonic distance''' ('''HD''').
