finding closest approximations to a scale

Hey Robert!

This sounds really similar to what the "Interactive
Quantize" module does in my program "Li'l Miss Scale
Oven (LMSO)".

For anyone who wants to check out the details, I
extracted the part from my manual that talks about it
and put it up at:

Fun stuff! I think it's a really cool function and use
it frequently myself.

Jeff!
Is it also possible to find the closest MOS scales, (scales formed
by repetition of any interval)

Well, I've got a program to do that!

That's not one of the target scale options right now
but something like it could be added eventually if
there is a strong interest.

Would such a feature be of great use to you
compositionally?

It was more the idea of explaining a set of pitches as a linear
series that sparked my interest. As the resident Acoustic Moonie on
these lists, i tend to work with few tunings. Making instruments in like
doing sculpture in stone, and each tuning has to hold up to a myriad of
applications or one finds one stuck with no where to go. It isn't even a
matter of money, but of room, one runs out of space which is a more
difficult thing than it was in Harry's day.
Regardless as much as this all may appear to be a handicap, I will say
that i know each of my tunings very well before i start to build: that
knowing "one can not turn back" forces the psyche into being more
discriminating. Dealing with more than one mistake, has merely added to
the drama.
