harmonic complexity

[John Chalmers, Divisions of the Tetrachord]

[Erv] Wilson's Harmonic Complexity function of a ratio is the sum of the prime factors greater than 2, considering all of the exponents as positive. The complexity of a set of ratios is the complexity of the modified Least Common Multiple [LCM] of the factors. (See Chapter V [of Divisions of the Tetrachord] for examples.)
