Well, even JI is limited, since 1/1:5/4:7/5:7/4 should, in theory, be a
cruncy chord, but 28:25 is so close to 9:8 that in the 9-limit, this chords
sounds pretty much like a saturated chord.

Hmm, replace crunchy with something like piquant, and (in both JI and
a slew of pretty unusual temperaments) this would be the basic sonic
thrust of all the 10 and -- especially -- the 9-tone "bimodal" posts I
put up a while back (where the dissonance is generally the interval
between the two thirds).

By the way, Dan... did you ever get to "check out" the pentads that I
did for your 20-tET scale while you were on vacance??

Did they sound like anything?? or do we need a different system to do
them??...

Now, it will be to get Paul Erlich to do the AUDIBLE version of some
of his harmonic entropy studies... but he is involved in so many
other "conceptual" things...
