Dave or whoever: Manuel and I shared scales files when I was compiling a set for
the Mac tuning editor JiCalc and he was writing the early versions of scala.
Barbour is James Murray Barbour, who wrote Tuning and Temperament. PIS is the
"Perfect Immutable System," Kathleen Schlesinger's translation of
"systema teleion ametabolon," the two octave 5-tetrachord variously-tuned gamut
of classical Greek music.I sometimes used Ps to indicate a scale (or genus) that
is constructed analogously to one of Aristoxenos's, but is not actually by him.
An example would be 5+5 +20 parts, 83.33+ 83.33 +333.33
cents.

I haven't hear from Dr. Barnard recently. Is he still involved in Kayolonian music?
