****Thank you so much, Jacky, for your comments which I *greatly*
appreciate! I *particularly* appreciate them, since I only listened
*once* to it myself... :)

****Well, as in point *5* you *always* Jacky, seem to point out the
parts of my pieces that *I also* feel are the best. It's happened
every time. (Take that, those who say there's no "commonality of
perception..." :) )

The piece actually took a fair amount of "working out" but I hope it
doesn't sound "overboiled..." :)

Besides the Just sonorities, I was concentrating, as you succinctly
state, on various non-obvious properties of Blackjack: the
dissonances and the chromaticism, which one might not *initially*
associate with it, since it's so designed for the nice, consonant
Just Intonation...

****Thank you so much, Jacky.

I still feel I need more "post-processing" in my works, but I still
find it hard to do right, since it always seems to destroy the tuning.

I think I would need a "more advanced" setup, as you've suggested in
the past, where I can put reverb on *each line* separately. I'd like
also to do more with the patch editor...

Oh well, there's always improvements and more to do, but I'm
delighted that you like _Blect_!
