In a scale, notes are distributed in degrees, separated by intervals. F for example, comprises F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F. But a note can be flat or sharp, so two note names can indicate the same pitch. Consider the scale of B. This comprises B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-Sharp, B. Here it is appropriate to call the seventh note A-Sharp, though it is exactly the same note as the fourth note in the scale of F, which it is more convenient to call Bb, this is enharmony.  3, record 1, English, - enharmony

The degree to which the frequencies of overtones (known as partials, partial tones, or harmonics) depart from whole multiples of the fundamental frequency.  2, record 2, English, - inharmonicity

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Strings would like to oscillate as closely as possible to harmonic partials, or whole-number multiples of the fundamental. In practice, the partials do not occur at precisely those simple ratios, because strings have thickness as well as length, which lends them "inharmonicity", or an inability to vibrate harmonically.  3, record 2, English, - inharmonicity
