Original Wikitext content:
If p/q is a positive rational number reduced to its lowest terms, then the **Tenney height**, named for [[James Tenney]] who proposed it, is the integer pq. Often it is more convenient instead to take the logarithm (usually base 2) of the height. In either form it is widely used as a measure of inharmonicity and/or complexity for intervals.
