Thanks to Jim, Monz, Mohajeeri, Johnny and all for comments to my
question on Pythagorean 24-tone tuning. Thanks also for the various
tuning solutions.

Equal-tempered 24 seems to have a certain clangor to its melodies and
harmonies. I had earlier tried a Pythagorean "solution" of my own, and
it sounded smoother, less clangorous. I'll look at these tunings and get
back to you soon...

Thanks,

jls

i don't think anyone mentioned Margo Schulter use of two Pythagorean chains an 8/7 away.
68.8 cents flat. so i guess if you are flattening only 30 cents you are doing the inverse of this.
