Height is not dissonance

Not a big fan of this opening:

The height is a tool to measure the dissonance of JI intervals.

It measures the complexity. This might be related to dissonance, but not in an obvious way.

Agreed. Feel free to improve it. FloraC (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. As far as I can tell, "height" and "complexity" are synonymous. If they're not, then it may be a good idea to explain the difference on the page. I don't understand what the motivation is for using the term "height" when we already have the descriptive and in-common-use term "complexity". --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Maybe that's naive, but I'd say, it's not obvious that complexity (in a more common sense) needs to be measured in one dimension. Height seems to be a one-dimensional measure. --Xenwolf (talk) 06:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
