Reformulate use of special terms to make them more obviously musically meaningful.

* Re-formulate "[[consistent]]": Use the formulations "'''chord X is consistent in N-edo'''" or "'''N-edo is consistent with chord X'''" to 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.
