Interesting. and will enjoy hearing the results. It seems to me that these extended references
might be what lead to the impulses of modulating in the first place. if so, one would tend to
think that the adaptation route would water down the dynamics of the melody. It seems one could
let the harmony be based on the same extended reference. Not saying you are right or wrong but
just wanting to know how you ended up drawn to using it his way. Erv's 17 tone scale as dealt with
in
http://www.anaphoria.com/genus.PDF is his own solution to this problem.
Erv did so layouts labeled Duodene but can't seem to find it right now. will keep looking and it
might already be up
