RE: Clearer

Carl, I like your suggestions on the sentences comparing 7-limit
temperaments to 5-limit 12-equal. I encourage you to change those in
your .pdf version of the paper (which already looks good).

}I'm with you on the need for a generalized diatonic scale, but I missed
the
}definition. I don't see why a fifth is ever anything but the fifth
degree
}of a scale. The tritone isn't part of the "unaltered diatonic" scale,
so I
}can't see how it can be a type of 5th or 4th degree in that scale.

A 5th or 4th does not have to occur between the tonic and another scale
degree. The interval between the 4th and 7th in a major key is an
