Hi all,
I have created new version of a program Series.

Now it generates all possible rows, all-interval rows and
"almost-all-interval" ("all-minus-one-interval") rows in different nTETs.
The rows starting with certain notes or intervals can be also generated -
thanks to Mats �ljare for suggestion. Some more new features. Help included.

The concept of "almost-all-interval" is as follows.
If any row is repeated over and over in the composition, there is one more
interval between the last note of one row and the first note of another one.
So one interval is duplicated anyway (except if the row is transposed so the
last note of one row is the same as the first note of the following row).
Rows with at most one duplicated and one missing interval have the same
property - only the one interval is doubled. The missing interval can be
used as the interval between the rows. These "almost-all-interval"
("all-minus-one-interval") rows can be constructed even for the scales with
the odd number of notes.

Free Series 2.0 for Windows is at
www.noise.cz/artech/downloads/series20.zip. It is very new and not too much
tested.
Any suggestions, bug reports, etc. are welcommed.

can you determine these properties just by listening to the music?
does the music have a different quality when the precise "accounting"
is followed as opposed to when some of the intervals of the et are
absent, or when some are duplicated more?
