Why is that again? I don't know which e-mail this refers to...

What did I tell you about that Goldstein stuff? You need a finer N (or
whatever). Anything where the 7/5 pulls in the 11/8 is too course!

I disagree and stick with the model. 11/8 by itself doesn't quite cut
it. In an otonal chord, though, it definitely does cut it, but as you
know I haven't been able to formulate a harmonic entropy model for
chords of more than two notes.
