	A chord C = α<sub>1</sub>:...:α<sub>n</sub> is ''delta-rational'' (DR) or ''partially delta-rational'' (PDR) when the chord has two distinct dyads α<sub>k<sub>1</sub></sub>:α<sub>k<sub>2</sub></sub> and α<sub>k<sub>3</sub></sub>:α<sub>k<sub>4</sub></sub> such that (α<sub>k<sub>2</sub></sub> − α<sub>k<sub>1</sub></sub>)/(α<sub>k<sub>4</sub></sub> − α<sub>k<sub>3</sub></sub>) is rational. When all dyads are linearly related, i.e. when the chord is of the form (α + k<sub>1</sub>):...:(α + k<sub>n</sub>), we call the chord ''fully delta-rational'' (FDR).		A chord C = α<sub>1</sub>:...:α<sub>n</sub> is ''delta-rational'' (DR) or ''partially delta-rational'' (PDR) when the chord has two distinct dyads α<sub>k<sub>1</sub></sub>:α<sub>k<sub>2</sub></sub> and α<sub>k<sub>3</sub></sub>:α<sub>k<sub>4</sub></sub> such that (α<sub>k<sub>2</sub></sub> − α<sub>k<sub>1</sub></sub>)/(α<sub>k<sub>4</sub></sub> − α<sub>k<sub>3</sub></sub>) is rational. When all dyads are linearly related, i.e. when the chord is of the form (α + k<sub>1</sub>):...:(α + k<sub>n</sub>), we call the chord ''fully delta-rational'' (FDR). In practice these terms can loosely refer to approximations of mathematically PDR and FDR chords.
