Somebody said it don't work when the sum hit 17. That happens for the
first time at the 7-limit, but only with one interval.

I asked a question.

>>I tried it for 126/125...
>>lg(126*125) = 13.9430642 [just the fraction]
>>lg(2) + 2lg(3) + 3lg(5) + lg(7) = 13.943063 [prime factors 126*125]
>>2log(30) + log(35) = 14.9430642 [shortest lattice route 6/5, 6/5, 7/5]
>>...they're all the same (I used base2 logs).

Doesn't matter with octave equivalence. Or maybe you mean that the middle
one is bigger by 0.0000001? This was caused by the where I rounded (errors
accumulated in the middle calculation).
