One thing just occurred to me. If this option is going into the UI, do you think the numbers should be 1-based for easier comprehension by musicians? For example, use '(1 . 9) to allow chording unisons to ninths, rather than '(0 . 8)?
Good to think of this now, because it is awkward to change later. I think either convention will be fine, if the doc strings are clear. I understood the zero-based system without hesitation, because your docstring said the numbers were "the distance (in steps) between notes". There are probably cases where negative values are appropriate, so as to set two parts as chords even if they cross, on the conductor's score. Negative values make more sense on the zero-based scheme.
