I've decided to add the 9-limit numbers to my set of measures; that gives us a better idea of the nature of these scales, in that we can see how much of the 11-limit harmony, if any, actually involves 11.

Good!

This scale looks better than it would have. 5 at the 9 limit
is better than at the 11 limit. That's why I think we should
be normalizing against limit and cardinality of the scale.
