correction to my previous Pythagorean measurement post

I completely messed up. The first part of the note name would be the
Pythagorean note, which should be between G-flat and A-sharp. The first
number should express raising or lowering in Pythagorean commas (one step in
53-tone). The second number should be halves of a Mercator's comma, or one
step in 306-tone. A third number (optional) for extra-fine tuning, the
665-tone comma.

But the pure major third is still E-1+1 (not using a third number), and a
12-tet fifth is G+0-1.
