Well, I calculated the locally concordant tetrads from the Tenney-based
diadic harmonic entropy, and there were 140 of them -- the same number as
before. But before I could see what they were, Matlab crashed. I ended up
having to reboot. Instead of calculating them again, I just assumed they
were all the same as before, and looked up the new discordance values for
the old tetrads. Ranked by the new discordance values, and throwing out the
15 with octaves, here are all 125:

bass is always 0
