Mats...funny you would mention that precise interval, at this time.
John Starrett and I have been rehearsing in 19 lately, and we decided
that we liked the sound of the # 6th (at 947 cents) in a dominant 7th
chord, rather than the b7th (at 1010 cents). It feels and sounds really
wonderful...you'll hear it, down the road, when we record Starrett's
tunes (which will set a new standard for pop/rock music, I assure
you)...Hstick

Neil, i am wondering- using 19 and 34 tone instruments, have you developed any distinct tonal or modal systems other than the diatonic scale?

I know Neil has . . . the tune "667" is an example, as is the first
34-tone tune on "Acoustic Stick" . . . Neil, care to lay these out
for us?
