Surfing the web; found these relevant to recent discussions:

http://www.research.umbc.edu/eol/dujunco/tuning.html

Here a heptatonic scale from the Chinese xian shi yue tradition is
described. It could be described as neutral diatonic hypophrygian, or as
the fourth mode of the modern Arabic diatonic scale.

A detailed study of Euler's consonance calculations. French speakers,
please help us!

And,

Cariani, Peter A., and Bertrand Delgutte. 1996.
Neural correlates of the pitch of complex tones.
I. Pitch and pitch salience. II. Pitch shift,
pitch ambiguity, phase-invariance, pitch circularity,
and the dominance region for pitch.
J. Neurophysiology 76 (3) : 1698-1734. (2 papers)

Go to
http://babelfish.altavista.com/cgi-bin/translate?

type the URL
http://bailhache.humana.univ-nantes.fr/thmusique/euler.html
in the text field

and select your translation (French -> English is the only one
from French, but then you can go from English -> German, Italian,
Spanish and Portuguese).

Unfortunately the translation is still primitive:

"En 1739 Euler est d�j� connu comme math�maticien et se trouve � St
P�tersbourg, o� il occupera bient�t la chaire de math�matiques."

becomes

"In 1739 Euler is already known as mathematician and is with St
P�tersbourg, where it will occupy soon the pulpit of mathematics. "

But you get the idea!
