Tictactoe diagrams for ennealimmal

We are stuck with 27/25 as one generator, which I put horizontally.
Vertically we have a choice, and what we choose leads to different
complexities for the most compact versions of the tetrads. Below I
give various generators, tictactoe diagrams for a utonal tetrad, and
the notes of the tetrad. Choosing either 6/5 or 5/3, or else 10/9 or 9/5,
leads to a nice compact arrangement, and it seems to me a Bosanquet
keyboard with a 10/9-/6/5-27/25 triangle might be quite practical for
someone wanting to be able to play, for example, Ennealimmal[45] in
real time. This would be, therefore, a keyboard allowing considerable
flexibility playing perceptual 7-limit JI.
