Hi Jacky!

Before the "math and formula cops" get you, 4/459 is 0.87...%, not
0.0087...% -- at least on this tuning list! It can be any number you
want it to be on the other list...

(Just to be on the safe side: ;-) ;-) ;-) )

p.s. so I'm not totally off-topic: yesterday I was at a talk Joe Maneri
gave about his recent music. He was extremely entertaining, and played
some new music he's working on, loosely in 72-tET. An as-yet-unfinished
1-hour piece called "Holy Land" that starts with a soprano sax solo, then
soprano sax duet, supposed to represent Abel and Caine in heaven. God is
portrayed by a baritone sax (!) He (Joe, not God) also played clarinet
and alto sax for us - he has a lot of impressive microtonal stuff very
well under his fingers, even at age 70-something.
