roughness

[Paul Erlich]

A quantity measuring the sonance of a musical tone, interval, or chord, based on the critical band interactions of proximate partials.

This conception of sonance is associated with the harmonic theories in the tradition of Helmholtz, and finds a modern advocate in Sethares.

Another recently developed component measuring sonance is harmonic entropy.
