HI Jeff,

I've been exploring half comma meantone,
and found it's pretty interesting.

Here is a gamelan like fractal tune exploring
a near seven equal subset (but then I
repeated it at the eleventh degree
instead of the twelth so it digresses
into other less equal subsets).

Also been enjoying improvising in it and particularly
the two six tone scales, each of which has a wide gap
which you can put a surprise seventh note into from
time to time. It's a nice melodic scale I find.
