You may not have noticed the line

0 268 498 703 885 40.473

in my results, but that corresponds to the scale you're talking about. Would
you like me to show, interval by interval, how this number is arrived at, as
opposed to how the 39.506 of

0 195 390 699 891 39.506

is arrived at; or should we step outside this framework and talk about its
validity?

You mean examples of my guitar playing? Well, I think of what I do with
delay more in terms of counterpoint (as in a round) rather than creating one
big chord with all the notes in the scale.
