Greekish tuning unit names now in Dictionary

hello all,

i have now made a detailed page for each one
of the 14 "Greekish" MIDI tuning unit names:

http://sonic-arts.org/dict/enamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/doamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/triamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/tetramu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/pentamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/hexamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/heptamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/oktamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/enneamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/dekamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/endekamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/dodekamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/tridekamu.htm
http://sonic-arts.org/dict/tetradekamu.htm

and one page that has a nice table giving
an overview of the whole family:

http://sonic-arts.org/dict/mu.htm

also, all of these tunings have now been
included as entries in the big list of
equal-temperaments on that page:

http://sonic-arts.org/dict/eqtemp.htm

i stayed up all night working on this, and
also interrupted it to update the Sumerian 12edo
page, so there might be some errors ...
please let me know!

Good show! I would object to the following: "For practical use in
tuning MIDI-files, an interval's semitone value must first be
calculated." This is not true; I don't think it would usually even be
the easiest way to proceed.

well ... i would definitely agree that it's *not*
the easiest way ... but that's the way i *have* to
do it in Cakewalk, and AFAIK most typical software
sequencers work that way. how do you do it?

Normally I let Scala do the work. If I need to make a computation
involving MTS, I'd simply do the computation in base 10 and translate
the result, if neccessary, into base 128.
