Chromatic pairs

Does this look like a good format, with the required information, for "chromatic pairs"? The "albitonic scale" of course is the white-key scale of the pair.

Looks good. Maybe a little verbose for listing more of them. -C.

Can we link to .scl files on their server, so we don't have to
have them cluttering the text? Looks like it

Could do that. Anyone prefer it as it is?

I do prefer it as is, but this might get messy when we have lots of
scales on there.

This is why I wish we could handcode stylesheets and scripts for the
xenharmonic wiki. Then we could just put <div class="scale">blah
blah</div> and write a 5 minute script in jQuery to make it a
"collapsible" div that's closed by default with a "download" link.
There are a million little useful things like this we could do. <span
class="interval"> could automatically have a popup telling you name of
the comma, what intervals the comma equates, what its associated
temperament is, etc, by a simple ajax call to a database that we could
probably adapt from Graham's temperament finder.

In fact, since I've already written a JS script to parse Scala files,
we could make it automatically play the scale and compute the POTE
generator and whatever other stuff you want too.
