Again, everything checks as Minkowski reduced.

Two 12-et keyboards, a 23.4 cent comma apart, would allow this one to
be tried. Is this a known idea? If not, it should be.

I did work with this many years ago -- nice to see it again. The 10-
cent-flat major third, umm, takes some getting used to. I do talk
about the 5-limit system of two 12-tET keyboards 15 cents apart a
lot. What is the Minkowski-reduced basis for that latter system? It
would seem that only one unison vector would be involved, but I can't
see how.

I think I can do this one without the computer's help; the 15-cents
tells me that this is the 72 and 84 systems in the 5-limit, and they
both have the 12-et fifth, so they both have 3^12/2^19 in the kernel.
The map matrix has to be:

[ 0 12]
[ 0 19]
[-1 28]

The Pythagorean comma . . . somehow when I thought about it before,
it wasn't so obvious . . . I guess I tend to think in terms of an
octave period, even though I'm so intimately familiar with a half-
octave-period system . . . but now it's completely obvious . . .

Naturally.
