Paul, that may be what you're discussing there, but it is very
cryptic and difficult to understand for a less mathematically
oriented person.i What Mats presented was very clear and to the
point musically rather than theoretically and I hope he doesn't
run anywhere else with it!

That said, I couldn't do the download, so I haven't given it a
listen.

I have certainly been exploring MOS and MOS offspring so I'm
interested in this topic. Recently I have been looking at
mappings from one ed2 to another. For instance, this weekend
I played with

31 : 4414414441
41 : 5525525552

which unfortunately doesn't have an analog in 19. I'm
concentrating on 31 and 41 because although they have much
of the same resources (perhaps too much) 31 approaches it
them as a meantone and 41 as a quasi-pythagorean tuning.

In Saturday improvisations I preferred 31, in part because
the 5-(odd)-limit intervals are more palatable to me than the
3-(prime)-limit (more than compensating for the slightly
bruised 3/2 and 4/3). I also preferred the more exagerated
difference in step sizes (higher value of R).

So, yes Mats I'd be interested in any discoveries you've made.

Is it clear to you what I mean if I say the generator of this system
is the neutral third? There has been quite a bit of investigation on
chain-of-neutral third tunings . . . might I ask Gene and Graham to
chime in with some comments, cloaked in as little obscure theoretical
terminology as possible, so that Robert will view them as "musical"?
