in case anyone needs some help in following that ...

2^(190/323) = 2^(10/17) = ~705.8823529 cents

2^(189/323) = ~702.1671827 cents

2^(188/323) = ~698.4520124 cents

2^(187/323) = 2^(11/19) = ~694.7368421 cents

i've also made new error-from-JI lattices at:

http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/eqtemp.htm

color ones of 34, 94, 171, 323, and 1000edo,
and a greyscale as well for 94.

to me, 94 looks a lot like 41; of the lower edos,
323 resembles 34, and considering the higher ones,
it's very much like 1000.
