To John Chalmers: This posting is in response to your genuine concerns
about the harmonicity of many tetrachordal scales. This list appears
to be the limit for heptatonic scales in 24tet using similar chord
types. Hybrids are of course possible using the I-IIm-V chord
progression as a template or framework.

Indeed, one of the best scales I've ever heard.
