Chord periods

Not a lot of trouble, actually. I used my excel
spreadsheet and just typed =lcm( and then selected
some cells with the mouse. The spreadsheet did the
rest. It's quite convenient for doing JI music
calculations. It does gcd too.

I confess, I suspected something would cancel out,
but I didn't have the time to go into it just then and
simplify. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

I do think this representation makes the concept
clearer, but without more feedback I won't know.

I intend to write a chord sorting program based on
this principle when I can find the time, and do some
compositions, but free time is in mighty short supply
for me just now.
