Yes, thanks Joe, your quite right. For some reason (fatigue and
carelessness) my brain seems to have been ricocheting back and forth
between C and G in more places than one here... so here's what I meant
to write:

Interesting enough, in the context of Patrick's comment, Joe seems to
have posted a partial 4:5:6:7:9:11:13 (where tuning out the beats
might be the least of the problems!), or a 4:5:6:7 G7:

15/8
/|\
/ | \
/21/16\
/,' `.\
3/2-------9/8

and a 7:9:11:13 Fmaj7#5:

27/16--33/32
`. ,'|
21/16|
`.|
39/32

When I was looking at this last night, I also noticed a somewhat
similar polychord interpretation that used the 19:24:30:36 -- which
sounds much more like the 12-tET maj7#5 than does the 7:9:11:13; same
goes for the 1/(19:15:12:10) -- for the Fmaj7#5 (though the dominant
seventh here certainly sound even less like the 12-tET version):

1/1 5/4 3/2 19/11 12/11 15/11 18/11
