i have posted a music in 24-edl in file section of group.
this scale is based on dividing string lenght to 24 equal division of
lenght ( and so the octave to 12.)
the scale is :
0: 1/1 --- 0.000 unison, perfect prime
1: 24/23 --- 73.681
2: 12/11 --- 150.637 3/4-tone, undecimal neutral
second
3: 8/7 --- 231.174 septimal whole tone
4: 6/5 --- 315.641 minor third
5: 24/19 --- 404.442 smaller undevicesimal major
third
6: 4/3 --- 498.045 perfect fourth
7: 24/17 --- 597.000 1st septendecimal tritone
8: 3/2 --- 701.955 perfect fifth
9: 8/5 --- 813.686 minor sixth
10: 12/7 --- 933.129 septimal major sixth
11: 24/13 --- 1061.427 tridecimal neutral seventh

Dear Shaahin,

Please let me thank you for your piece, which unfortunately I have been
unable to access since I cannot connect with the browsers I use to the
files area. If you know the URL to your file, might I ask you to post it,
just to see if that might somehow solve the problem? If not, we should
make some other arrangement, because I would love to hear it.

In the meantime, however, I might offer one comment about what looks like
a very interesting scale. Maybe this might best be described as an
arithmetic or subharmonic series 24:23:22:21:20:19:18:17:16:15:14:13:12.
It is the kind of division in which medieval Near Eastern theorists take
considerable interest (e.g. 14:13:12), and which Kathleen Schlesinger has
suggested as an important element in various world musics.

What interests me most, however, is how you use this scale. Please feel
free to contact me via e-mail also so that we can arrange some way for me
to hear it.

By the way, the Yahoo problem: when I use the URL

<http://group.yahoo.com/group/makemicromusic/files/>

and sign in as a member, I go through a long chain of redirection -- too
long for the lynx browser, which reports that 10 redirects have been
exceeded.

If I try to start from the Home for MMM, then there's a menu which
mentions "Files" as one of the "Members Only" services -- but without any
text-based link that I can select with lynx (although the screen
acknowledges my log-in and user name, so that I should be able access
member-only features).

I'm not sure what would happen if I had a URL with the filename or
whatever included -- and if the file is 3 MB or so or less, I might
consider just asking if you might please e-mail it to me.

Anyway, it's frustrating not being able to hear a contribution like this,
and I do want to lend my prompt encouragement while seeking to hear it
soon.

Peace and love,

Margo Schulter

That may be because you aren't taking the cookies. You need a cookie to log in.

It's only 350KB.

I've temporarily uploaded it to my server, for your convenience. Drop me a line after you've gotten the file:
