The idea motivating least-squares error on a chord as an approximation to a given delta signature is the following: Say we want the error of a chord 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> (in increasing order), with {{nowrap|''n'' &gt; 1}}, in the linear domain as an approximation to a fully delta-rational chord with signature {{nowrap|+δ<sub>1</sub> +δ<sub>2</sub> ... +δ<sub>''n''</sub>

This error measure is called the ''least-squares error''. This error measure does not form a metric on the set of delta signatures with a fixed number of terms, since it is not symmetric.
