Here's the lattice in the new orientation, labeled with 72-tET degrees for
now . . . note that it extends infinitely in two dimensions . . .

WOW!!! I nearly fell off my chair. You deserve some kind of award for Best Use of ASCII In a
Diagram. Looks like a masterpiece of engineering. Beautifully interconnected triangles, rectangles,
diamonds, Stars of David, a predominance of multiples of 3, 5, and 7 - nevermind it's musical
properties, the Kabbalists would have had a field day with this. I'm just going to have to rig up a
way to play this tuning, that's all there is to it.

The version with the note names may make more musical sense -- I
posted that afterwards.

My Ensoniq would be perfect, except that its tuning resolution (512
parts per octave) is too poor to really hear how close to JI 72-tET
really is.
