=== Terminology proposals ===

* On using the term [[consistent]]: ~~Let~~ "'''chord X is consistent in N-edo'''" or "'''N-edo is consistent with chord X'''" ~~mean that~~ when the chord X is mapped to N-edo, no interval in the chord has to be off by more than half of an edo step. I think the formulation "4:5:6:7:9:11 is consistent in 31edo" or "31edo is consistent with 4:5:6:7:9:11" is more obviously meaningful than "31edo is consistent in the 11-odd limit". A set of odd numbers such as an odd limit corresponds to a harmonic series chord independent of voicing. And looking at chords is arguably the right thing to do when applying JI odd limit musically.
