If you are referring to the normal curve model I proposed, the answer is, the same ones! It's a monotonic decreasing function of the sum of the squared errors, so minimizing the latter is the same as maximizing the former. If nothing else, the function is nice because is gives all tunings a rating between zero and one. >As for "expressive unisons," they can be very poignant. I believe >Wyschnegradsky made considerable use of them. What is this referring to?
