Monzo lattice of Partch's 43-tone scale

Hey folks, since I'm on the subject of my lattice formula,
and viewing my lattices as subsets of bigger lattices...

Today I came across the best lattice I've ever made of
Harry Partch's complete 43-tone scale. It seems I never
made it public before, so here goes:

http://www.ixpres.com/interval/monzo/partch/43lattice.htm

It was my intention to create a series of additional diagrams
which show the complete 43-tone lattice in grey, with all
of the various scales and chords Partch illustrates in his
book shown in black. That way it would be easy to see how
they are all subsets of his 43-tone scale.

Don't know when I'll ever find the time...
If anyone else wants to do this, go for it!

Darn, that post could have been more complete.

I should have mentioned that on the lattice, I make use
of 72-EDO accidentals with the letter-names, together with
my HEWM prime-factor notation, and also include the ratio,
for each of the 43 notes. (I should have included cents
too.)
