'''harmonic distance''' - A property of intervals other than size; a second type of distance, such that pitches separated by 'short' intervals are more likely to be confused (as by novice singers) than those separated by 'long' intervals. e.g. an octave is 'shorter' than a tritone. related to consonance. e.g. [[Benedetti_height|Tenney height]]. | '''harmonic distance''' - A property of intervals other than size; a second type of distance, such that pitches separated by 'short' intervals are more likely to be confused (as by novice singers) than those separated by 'long' intervals. e.g. an octave is 'shorter' than a tritone. related to consonance. e.g. [[Benedetti_height|Tenney height]]. | ||
