In music, a stacked chord is a set of well-defined pitches sounding together consisting of a stack of varying qualities of the same interval class. The most common stacked chords comprise of splitting a 3/2 or perfect fifth into two varying sizes of thirds. Stacked chords must be at least triadic as dyadic can only contain one interval.
5-limit tertiary harmonic triads
| Name | Divides interval | Chord formula | Odd limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major | 3/2 | 5/4 + 6/5 or M3 + m3 | 5 |
| Minor | 3/2 | 6/5 + 5/4 or m3 + M3 | 5 |
| Augmented | 25/16 | 5/4 + 5/4 or M3 + M3 | 25 |
| Diminished | 25/18 | 6/5 + 6/5 or m3 + m3 | 25 |
7-limit tertiary harmonic triads
| Name | Divides interval | Chord formula | Odd limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Septimal (super)major | 3/2 | 9/7 + 7/6 or 7M3 + 7m3 | 9 |
| Septimal (sub)minor | 3/2 | 7/6 + 9/7 or 7m3 + 7M3 | 9 |
| Marvel-tempered augmented | 14/9 | 5/4 + 5/4 or M3 + M3 | 9 |
| Starling-tempered diminished | 12/7 | 6/5 + 6/5 or m3 + m3 | 9 |
11-limit tertiary harmonic triads
| Name | Divides interval | Chord formula | Odd limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral | 3/2 | 11/9 + 11/9 | 11 |
| 7:9:11 | 11/7 | 9/7 + 11/9 or SM3 + N3 | 11 |
