=== Terminology proposals ===
Reformulate use of special terms to make them more obviously musically meaningful.
* Re-formulate "[[consistent]]": Use the formulations "'''all-odd harmonic series chord C is consistent in N-edo'''" to mean that:
# every instance of an interval in C is mapped to the same size in its approximation C' (for example, 4:6:9 is approximated using two fifths of the same size), and
# no interval within the chord is off by more than 50% of an edo step.
: I think the formulation "1:3:5:7:9:11 is consistent in 31edo" 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.
