Yes, I've still got the draft of it which I accidentally posted to TL
before it was ready, and also somewhere, some additions / corrections to
it.

Maybe I can post it here and c.c. to main list?
It has a fractal tune ex, so it is practical.

I'll need to get back into the way of thinking about it.

Happened just before the flood of 72-tet posts to TL, at which point I
pretty much stopped posting there regularly, as I couldn't keep up with
all the digests, and mightn't have found any replies for a while.

I still haven't looked through all the titles of all the digests, just
look at a few now and again - get as many digests from the various
microtonal groups I belong to as I get individual e-mails! In fact,
looking at my inbox recently, I think the digests outnumber the individual
e-mails. Some days I look through most of the topics lists, and sometimes
I don't get round to doing that at all.

I suppose we just have to accept that the microtonal scene has grown
to the extent one can no longer easily keep in touch with everything that
is happening in TL and its off-shoots.

I've added a tune in your diatonic scale to my tunes page. I wrote it
this evening.

A kind of sad / optimistic lento.

Do you have any pieces you've done in this diatonic scale? I'd like to
hear them!

I've also improvised in it and enjoyed doing so. :-)

I enjoy your works so much, I just wanted to put this out: if you
have any pieces, songs, improvs, etc. that are in some form of audio
format (tape, CD, whathaveyou) that you would like converted to mp3,
please feel free to mail them to me and I'll convert and burn a CD of
them so you have them for this kind of sharing/showing.

Cheers,
Jon
