Paul,

Regarding your entropy minimizer algorithm... have you reached any
conclusions as to how much the initial scale choice influences the
relaxed result? Wouldn't it be possible to find, for a given number
of tones, the one scale with the least total dyadic harmonic entropy?
I understand that this might not always be desirable -- when looking
for a local minimum around a certain chord, for example. But for
finding new scales -- how much did the initial choice of n-tET
influence the results?
