I am working on ways to combine and integrate 7-tone Thai Equal Temperament with
Western 11-tone Equal Temperament. I would like advise from anyone who has experience
and/or solutions regarding the possibilities and problems of this matter.
thank you. I am not interested in altering either system, except to have the Thai
instruments tune to Bb=466.165, according to western equal temperament.
thank you,
Phil

It took me about 2 minutes to create a Tonescape
.tuning file of this:

/makemicromusic/files/monz/7-and-11-edo-combined_phil_mmm15852.tuning

On the Lattice, i have 11-edo on the horizontal axis and
7-edo on the vertical, and each step along a Lattice axis
represents one degree of the EDO, with the origin at the
center.

I wasn't sure if you wanted the origin to be tuned
to the Bb 466.165 Hz, so i left it at the default
A 440. You can go to "File | Reference Pitch" to
change that ... but BE SURE TO TYPE THE KEYBOARD
'ENTER' KEY WHILE THE MOUSE IS POSITIONED OVER
THE SLIDER! in order to have Tonescape accept the change.

You can download Tonescape from my website homepage.
