List of anomalous saturated suspensions
Below is a complete list of anomalous saturated suspensions through the 23-odd-limit. Each chord listed is either ambitonal or has a o/utonal inverse that is also an anomalous saturated suspension.
Formal names
For each odd limit we can list ambitonal chords in lexicographic order by harmonic series representation, along with o/utonal chord pairs according to the harmonic series representation of the otonal chord in the pair. Each chord is then designated by a capital "A" whose subscript is a tuple, where the first value is its odd limit and the second value is its index in the list for that odd limit. This is followed by an "a," "o," or "u" depending on whether the chord is ambitonal, otonal, or utonal.
Every chord has a plausible homonym. The alternate root is bolded in the scale. The Color Names column names the homonym for some of the chords. For example, if the first chord is Cg7, it has as a homonym gEby6.
