    • Abstract:
      This article discusses a theory of generic prototypes and a unified theory of chord quality in general equal-tempered harmony. It says that the elements of a maximally even (ME) chord are distributed as evenly as possible around the chromatic circle. Some specific examples of ME species are explained.
