TUNING digest 1521

I thought I would throw my 7 cap (preferred term to limit) tuning to the
wolves (no pun intended Dan) because I thought It might be useful to
David Finnamore! This is my centaur tuning found in xh16.

1/1 21/20 9/8 7/6 5/4 4/3 7/5 3/2 14/9 5/3 7/4 15/8 2/1

There are some features I find interesting as well as musically
resourceful
1. 2 Harmonic series up to the 10th a fifth a part (1/1 and 4/3)
2. I subharmonic series down to the 10th (on 7/4)
3. repeated tetrachords (starting 7/6 and 7/4) that contain many Greek
tetrachords or Persian permutations.
4. at least one version of all of the Ptolemy superparticular trichords.
( these are 16/15-5/4,8/7-7/6, 10/9-6/5
5. two hexanies 1-3-5-9 and 1-3-7-9
6. Just major scale on "C"

When I came up with this tuning I had just acquired my first pump organ
and wanted a tuning where i could sustain the most intervals and
structures as possible
