JI chords and chords that are subsets of [[isodifferential chord]]s (these correspond to all chords of the form α : α + ''k''<sub>1</sub> : ... : α + ''k''<sub>n</sub> for any positive number α and integers k<sub>1</sub>, ..., k<sub>n</sub>) are special cases of delta-rational chords, but in these chords ''all'' dyads are rationally related in frequency space, which we call '''fully delta-rational''' (FDR).

Inversions and revoicings of DR chords may not be DR, unlike the case with JI chords where inversions and revoicing of JI chords stay JI. However, unlike the case with JI chords, a mos can tune a DR chord exactly, provided that the chord's linear signature has two integer entries.
Inversions and revoicings of DR chords may not be DR, unlike the case with JI chords where inversions and revoicing of JI chords stay JI. However, unlike the case with JI chords (whose intervals form a lattice of rank at least 3), a mos can tune a DR chord exactly, provided that the chord's linear signature has two integer entries.
