The hanson family

The 5 to 7 limit choice is not as clear as I was thinking, because
Number 91 intrudes itself, so I withdraw my objection to keeping
"hanson" only as a 5-limit name. It would be nice to figure out a
naming scheme which would help sort out these family trees, however.

This family stuff looks awesome. I wish I understood the
half of it. I'm surprised you're using generator sizes.
How do you standardize the generator representation? Forgive
me if this is old stuff, I haven't kept up.

It's just the TOP tuning for the generators.

How do you get a unique set of generators out of the TOP
tuning?

My miserable notes offer...

...which makes it sound as if 'tis predicated on mere fancy.

One way is to apply the TOP tuning to a rational number generator
which works as a reduced generator. For instance, with meantone that
would be 4/3, with miracle 15/14 or 16/15, etc. I simply solve for it,
using a close rational approximation of the TOP tuning to finesse
technical problems.

This is apparently not giving unique generators...

Sure it does; miracle(15/14) = [0, 1] = miracle(16/15)
