Re: [tuning] Digest Number 2686

both these scales are easily explained as recurrent series of differance tones, along with slendro. In fact they are
the 2nd 3rd, and fourth scales that Mt. Meru Produces. his is a very high coincidence in itself. The latter Chopi
scales i have exchanged data with Andrew Tracy, hugh's son who collected the data, and he was quite impressed with
how well the numbers fell into place. How this happens isthe big mystery now. but differance tones are as easily to
follow and tune to as the femoving of beats.

Great! Can you explain it, then? The links to difference tones and Mt Meru. From the Wilson Archive, Mt Meru seems to involve generalizations of Pascal's triangle and continued fraction expansions, but no musical scales or difference tones.
