Thanks for putting this up Joe. This seems to speak well for the
potential doability of the 144-tET notation. As the learning curve is
just a stones throw away from what's already being tackling with the
72-tET notation -- "often on laughably short rehearsal."

To my mind, the Reinhard/AFMM, 1200-tET method is theoretically ideal
(and I imagine it would be for most any composer!), but personally,
I'd still like to have a much better, or more detailed, understanding
of exactly how you go about training players to navigate its
abstractions -- in other words, exactly how do you accomplish, or
teach, some measure of methodical precision with the disembodied +/-
n-cents markings inside the free-floating space of these quartertone
pockets.
