"magic temperament" example

There is buttloads of it in my 41-edo work, but I couldn't find a simple and plain enough example of using the equation of 36/35 and 25/24 to differentiate between harmonic and "dominant" sevenths- doing this is buried in all over the place. So I sprudeled out an example, using 22 MOS of 41.

I added two pitches from 41 to round out to a easier-to-use 24 and try to avoid the flat-footed pseudo-tempering to which I earlier referred. Still there wound up an instance of the Pythagorean third masquerading as the 6/5, which is going with the flow of the MOS but still irks me. No biggy though, the point of the example is made, in the first few seconds in fact.
