Now that we've had a chance to see what notations work, here's an update of
my circular chart, showing the two survivors, as centered on D.

To see Blackjack, look only at the red and orange (ignore the yellow).

Great job!

Hmm . . . I find myself wanting to see 5 and 0, rather than 4 and 9, at the origin and antipode.

It's certainly arguable. But either way there's no way the 10 nominals
can be symmetrical with regard to Blackjack or Canasta. Which is the
origin and which the antipode? The note opposite 4 is in fact 0<<<<.
The note opposite 5 is 9>>>>.

I forgot to say: The reason I favoured 4 being central was that it
made 0 a kind of A (or A a kind of 0) thus numerical and aphabetical
order agreed as much as possible.

I didn't mean the opposite 72-tET note, I meant the opposite 10-tET
note, if you catch my drift.
