</gallery>Note: the numbers of the odd-limit are generally arranged in one of three ways: a) ascending numerically (ie, 2 3 5 7 9 11 etc) or, b) ascending by tonal order (ie 2 9 5 11 3 7), or c) ascending chordally (ie, 2 5 3 7 9 11). | </gallery>Note: the numbers of the odd-limit are generally arranged in one of three ways: a) ascending numerically (ie, 2 3 5 7 9 11 etc) or, b) ascending by tonal order (ie 2 9 5 11 3 7), or c) ascending chordally (ie, 2 5 3 7 9 11). | ||
