Gene's private reserve -- 7-limit

🔗Gene Ward Smith <gwsmith@svpal.org>

I decided to make some top 100 lists based on what I find useful in my
own compositional practice; while people may complain no one should be
interested in microtemperaments, the fact is I am. Moreover, I like
complete o/u-tonalities, which means Graham complexity is the
complexity measure of choice.

Below I give the top 100 with a log-flat badness figure derived from
7-limit Graham complexity and TOP error, with cutoffs of 20 cents for
TOP error and 100 for complexity. The next posting will be the same,
for 9-limit; for me the other interesting limits are 11 and 13, so I
plan to get to them eventually.

Rats--two temperaments with identical TOP errors *and* Graham
complexities. I was aware this could happen, but guessed, apparently
incorrectly, that it was quite unlikely and then forgot to check. The
missing one gets 64th place since it is better in the 9-limit.

I've verified that, contorsion aside, each temperament I look at does have a unique badness. I need this to test my temperament finder (now in three languages!). I can't prove it but it's always worked so far.

Oh yes, that'll be because it's a kind of minimax. The 7 mapping presumable doesn't contribute to the TOP error, and the complexities happen to be the same. They should be distinct if you switch to some kind of RMS.
