Blues JI

I added the following scale to the Gallery of 12-tone Just Intonation Scales on the xenwiki, so if Graham doesn't like it being called his scale now is the time to object.

! bluesji.scl

7-limit JI version of Graham Breed's Blues scale
12

27/25
10/9
5/4
35/27
4/3
35/24
40/27
81/50
5/3
140/81
35/18
2/1

This scale is interesting in part because though it has only 12 notes, it wants to be ragismic tempered, tempering out 4375/4374. Here's a ragismic version:

133.41252
182.30194
386.26915
449.12697
498.01639
653.09419
680.31833
835.39613
884.28554
947.14337
1151.11058
2/1

It has a major triad on 4, 5 and 10; a minor triad on 1, 2 and 9; a supermajor triad on 4, 10 and 11; and a subminor triad on 2, 7 and 9.

Looks fun. I'll have to check it out.
