More Tenney MOS stuff

I pushed things up to 2000 generator steps, and got the following
Tenney-MOS, where the patent vals are listed just as numbers. It
strongly gives the appearance that the pure-octave tuning converges
to a hypothetical tuning, which we might call the Tenney tuning. If
so, then adjusting each val by eg TOP would make that converge to a
tuning also (Tenney TOP?) This hypothetical but I think probable
tuning is weighted in favor of smaller primes. However, it is ony in
the case of pajara (where 3 and 5 are pulling in one direction, and 7
in another) that this gets at all extreme. Tenney tuning thinks
pajara in 34 is just great, and is willing to get even closer to
diaschismic.
