I might just leave it like that- it is easy enough to re-order
the scale in ascending order in the Scale window.

What' I've done is to change the window caption if the user
selects or enters anything other than a syntonic comma.

i'm not in possession of the program right now (i bought a copy for
ara's computer), but i plan to use it a lot for linear temperaments.

even ones with a "perfect fifth" as generator.

one of my favorites is "pelogic", defined by the "comma" 135:128.

think about it!

hey, i think it's really cool you're delving into dan's ideas with
him. few have been able to understand them so far. if you come up
with any interesting proofs or anything, please report them at tuning-
math!

much love,
paul
