We are reaching the end of the 4375/4374 lot; I had 132 of these, and these look like the best.

Is the advantage of "connectivity" over "edges" is
that "connectivity" tends to favor triads, tetrads, etc.,
while "edges" merely looks at dyads?

Connectivity does tend to favor chords, but one advantage from my point of view is that I don't need to write any code to compute it. A high connectivity means the notes are tied together more closely, with more paths from one to another, as well.
