Jeez- I just realized that the wholetone scale contains
4:5:7 chords. Here's the 4:5:6:7 in augmented in 27-et:

27 1200
0 0
9 400
16 711
22 978

This nonatonic looks interesting: 0 2 4 9 11 13 18 20 22 (27)

What is this? What's "measure"?

This and the above look suspiciously like
the decatonic and double-diatonic systems.
But they're not, are they?

An average number of generator steps to get to the consonances.

This I think is the steps^3 thing some people wanted in order to weight the low-rent temperaments more strongly. I like log-flat measures myself, I've concluded.

One is the 9/7 generator thing of 22-et, and the other doesn't look diatonic to me. Aside from 26-et, it could be tried on h34+v7.

Aha! The most important measure of all! Is this the mean?

gene was using rms, i believe.
