Hey, I just realized that if you change the first two steps to 3-5
instead of 4-4, you just lose one 5/4 but gain a 3/2, a 7/5, and another
(Utonal) 4:5:6:7 tetrad. Hmm . . .

One small correction (from a Canadian list member) - the province's name is
Newfoundland (one word, only the initial capital), with the first syllable
stressed, not the second (as many people do).

Glad to hear that the Sound Symposium is still going strong!
