See

http://www.anaphoria.com/keygrid.PDF

page 7 seems to be using some pelog terminology; anyone familiar with
it?

page 10 provides further support for my proposal of "hanson" as a
name for kleismic (i.e., dave keenan's chain-of-minor-thirds scale)

I'm not familiar with this terminology, but the keyboard is clearly based
on a generator of 5 steps of 23-ET, while the generator of pelogic
temperament is 10 steps of 23. In other words, this is the scale I've been
calling "superpelog", with the basic 9-note MOS subset used as the basis
for a system of notation.

I'll add a reference to this paper on my superpelog page:

Be careful; Erv does not view these as ETs. He sees them as general-
purpose cycles, which may be interpreted as ETs if you like, even
though he doesn't usually like.
