Problem in GPO 4?

I'm trying to use a Bohlen Pierce tuning in Garritan Personal Orchestra and I'm getting really funky stuff out - my melody jumps an octave-ish at some notes - I have not worked out the pattern yet.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior.

Ok,

Here is what I'm hearing

Compare the direction of the notes in the beginning of this 1 minute solo flute piece:

Bohlen-Pierce 12 of 13 from Scala archive

http://micro.soonlabel.com/flute-compare-tunings/flute-solo-BP12.mp3

The BP piece inexplicably jumps when it should be playing psuedo-halfsteps.

I have several comparisons here:

The 12th root of Phi is an interesting variant for me.

And Petr's Golden Spectrum tuning

=> Mike S. - do you have a 12 note tuning I can throw at this piece?

I'll have these streaming in a few at www.chrisvaisvil.
