Line 1: Line 1:
If p/q is a positive rational number reduced to its lowest terms, then the [[Benedetti height]] is the integer pq. Often it is more convenient instead to take the logarithm, usually base 2 ([[log2]]), of the [[Benedetti height]], leading to Tenney [[height]]. In either form it is widely used as a [[measure of inharmonicity]] and/or complexity for intervals.
