Gary Morrison and 6:5 in 88CET

Gary,

88CET does not have a good approximation to 6:5; do you mean 352 cents? In
that case, it's no wonder the first chord is more consonant in a certain
sense; the outer interval is 704 cents! The second chord, if 4+3 steps in
88CET, is a really lousy approximation of a 5:6:7 chord.
