The scale is none other than the 13-limit tonality diamond (Partch's
terminology). The notation, well, I'm about to discuss that with Alex,
off-list for now.

Shame on me - I should have recognized it right away!
I even read the Scala file into my JustMusic program and
made a lattice of it before I posted it! (oh well... the
software still has bugs...)

I hope it's positive: I *like* Alex's 'tuesday double-sharp', etc.
Thought you would too, with your recent posting about scales
named after states...
