The best chords are generally those where the lowest and highest notes are exactly one octave apart and the key of these chords will in most, if not all cases, be the lowest or highest note or both.
For dense chords (with four or five notes) most will sound sweeter when one or two notes are omitted. In the case of a five note chord where the lowest and highest notes are one octave apart, keep the lowest and highest notes and omit one or two of the other three notes in any combination you like. For four note chords where the lowest and highest notes are one octave apart then keep the lowest and highest notes and omit either one of the other two notes.
All subsets of the chords listed here should be good. All good intervals are within plus or minus 6.776 cents (256/255) accuracy of a good JI interval.
For chords less than an octave wide play each note alternately with the whole chord and the note that sounds most similar to the chord is the key of the chord.

For more on Blue Temperament and how I worked it out go to
http://www.johnsmusic7.com
and click on the region you live in. The link will take you to the nearest Amazon site to you where you can buy the book.
There are also three Blue Tuning tunes you can play on the web site, one is my own and the other two are by Chris Vaisvil.

John.

Thank you for sharing this information and link. There may be a problem with your web page. When I visited it started playing 3 different bits of music simultaneously. To my ear they sound much nicer separately than all at once.

Hi Mark,

strange that the three tunes play all at once. What browser do you use? And has anyone else had the same problem?

It works fine from my end (I'm using Firefox).

John.
