We will adopt the following mathematical definitions for convenience: A chord C = α1:...:αn is ''partially delta-rational'' when the chord has two distinct dyads αk1:αk2 and αk3:αk4 such that (αk2 − αk1)/(αk4 − αk3) is rational. When all dyads are linearly related, i.e. when the chord is of the form (α + k1):...:(α + kn), we call the chord ''fully delta-rational''
