The idea motivating least-squares error measures on a chord as an approximation to a given delta signature is the following (for simplicity, let’s talk about the fully DR case first):
The idea motivating least-squares error measures on a chord as an approximation to a given delta signature is the following:


We want the error of a chord {{nowrap|1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub>}} (in increasing order, we also take {{nowrap|''r''<sub>0</sub> {{=}} 1}}), 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>}}, i.e. a chord
