Say we want the error of a chord 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> (in increasing order) in the linear domain as an approximation to a fully delta-rational chord with signature +δ<sub>1</sub> +δ<sub>2</sub> ... +δ<sub>''n''</sub>, i.e. a chord

which can be plugged back into the error formula to obtain the error. (We multiply the 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> chord by α in order to compare it to the target DR chord on the same isodifferential series.)

This error measure is called '''least-squares delta error'''{{idiosyncratic}} (LSD error). LSD error does not depend on whether the chord whose error is being measured is 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> or the same chord linearly shifted to have root α. Unfortunately, LSD error does not form a metric on the set of delta signatures with a fixed number of terms.

Another possible approach is to view delta signatures as vectors of positive reals by fixing the first element as 1) and measure the induced <math>L^p</math> distance.
