Gene, et al;

So MOS aren't the only good n. Did we ever get a method
for defining all the "good" n? Paul, how does Miracle[22]
compare to Blackjack?

it has one more note :) seriously, it's not a CS, so i thought
blackjack would make a better keyboard mapping for joseph who wanted
like intervals to appear as like intervals on the keyboard.

Miracle[22] is a 2MOS, but the interesting thing is that there are
regular, "good" scales which aren't either MOS or NMOS. I don't have a
theory for them.

regular in what sense? good in what sense?
