13th harmonic just intonation

Mayumi Reinhard's tuning we call Harmonic 13 and she has written several
pieces in this tuning. There are 14 notes culled from Partch's Genesis
of a Music (pp. 461-463). Tune it up and hear it for yourself.
Attributes: great melodies and harmonies, sound beautiful, and quite
playable.

BTW, Paul and I can now communicate confidently that "it is impossible
sing the logarithmic middle of large, unfamiliar interval (e.g. a 7/5)
without learning it by rote (and practice)".
