could i put in a request -- when you look at these, try to find
omnitetrachordal variants to the basic MOS scales . . .

. . . and then, when they're all done, one could to the hyper-MOS
scales of the second order: fokker periodicity blocks where two
unison vectors are not tempered out. and the omnitetrachordal
variants of those . . .

what are the generators of these scales? what can we say about the
conditions leading to this kind of uniformity of the tetradic
materials as a function of "root" scale degree number?

Paul,

1. Omnitetrachordal just means the 4/3 doesn't have to be
cut in *four*, right? The symmetry still has to be 3:2,
right?

2. How might one find such variants?

This uniformity is connected to the fact that 36/35 is a chroma. As

are you sure you're phrasing that question correctly?

as opposed to 4:3? i think it's more 3:2 than 4:3.

i don't know a general rule, but interestingly even scales with 3
steps sizes can be omnitetrachordal (we found a 22-tone example in
the shrutar discussion).

oh, the uniformity is because you put the tetrads in generator circle
order, isn't it? what does 36/35 have to do with it? i thought you
were giving the tetrads in scale order. perhaps in fifths order would
be best of all.

As opposed to 5:4. I always forget the meaning of omnitetrachordal.
I think, because the tetra's still in there.

I was for a while, but it turns out it's better to stick with
generator circles.

>what does 36/35 have to do with it?

36/35 exchanges 7/6<-->6/5, 5/4<-->9/7, 5/3<-->12/7, 7/4<-->9/5 as we
move from one kind of tetrad to another. Unfortunately, it also
exchanges 35/24<-->3/2, leading to wolves.

right, but the uniformity would happen no matter what you used.
another appealing possibility, important in the whole version of this
discussion that we were having before with kalle, is 49:48, which
exchanges 7/4 <-> 12/7, 7/6 <-> 8/7, and in particular those systems
where 50:49 is one of the commatic unison vectors, such that the
chromatic unison vector can also be expressed as 25:24, leading to
6/5 <-> 5/4 and 8/5 <-> 5/3.

What strikes me as more interesting than that is 21/20, leading to
10/7<-->3/2, 8/7<-->6/5, 5/3<-->7/4, 12/7<-->9/5, 10/9<-->7/6 and
which can covert a tetrad into an ass. I think I'll tackle it next.
