Using 441 for the 7-limit and 612 for the 9-limit is reasonable

thanks, Gene!

i'll have this in the new version of the Encyclopedia
when it's complete and uploaded.

after 612, does the MOS really go to 1503 in 5-limit
and to 1053 in 7-limit, or is there a typo there?

1503 has to be a typo; consecutive MOSes can't differ in size by
factors of two or more. The size of MOS #n+1 is the size of MOS #n
plus the number of large steps in MOS #n.

Good spot! It's a typo; from the semiconvergents to 68/185 (generator
within period for 1665) you get

18, 27, 45, 72, 99, 171, 270, 441, 612, 1053, 1665

441+612=1053, so it's a compromise, making it a nice 7-limit choice
(in fact, poptimal.)
