Thanks for the clarification, Paul.
Perhaps we can prevent confusion in the future by agreeing on the use of symbols.

***
BTW You missed MY error.
The translation should have read:
....you have used the symbol s to equal (L-s), (the #I )
[LucyTuning uses (L-s)],
and the symbol L to equal s, (the IInd)
[LT uses (s)].
***

In LucyTuning, L = IInd and s = bIInd
so that 5L+2s = One Octave.

Best Wishes, and greetings from London.

Lucy
