sensory roughness (Sethares, excess over unison, current tone model and bass register) harmonic entropy (Erlich, register-free)

Both curves dip at simple ratios. Roughness comes from beating partials and grows in low registers; harmonic entropy measures how clearly an interval implies one ratio. The voicing’s notes sit where the dots are: labels show the interval above the bass, its roughness r and its normalised harmonic entropy.
