| limit |
Just intonation tunings and scales can be described by giving an upper bound on the complexity of the harmonies admitted by the tuning or scale. This upper bound is called a limit. For example, the major and minor triads of Common practice music fall within 5-limit just intonation. By extension it may be said that Common practice music is a 5-limit genre, because those major and minor triads are the most complex harmonies considered consonant in it. ...

| limiting angle |
In winds aloft observations using radio direction finding (RDF), the elevation angle below which errors in rawinsonde tracking caused by reflection and refraction are so great the resulting wind computations are unreliable. Limiting angles may apply to azimuth angle measurements if the azimuth angles are measured near structures such as towers or buildings.
