The '''Tenney height''', '''Tenney norm''', or otherwise known as '''harmonic distance''' ('''HD'''), is widely used as a [[measure of inharmonicity]] and/or [[complexity]] for [[interval]]s. 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 the Tenney height.
