Gene's algorithm

I finally got around to listening to Franz Berwald's Symphony
Singuliere, as retuned by Gene. Apparently trite, but cool
(so maybe only deceptively trite). And the timbre, music and
tuning remind me of Blackwood's work in 19-tET. But the
question I wanna ask: what does this tell us about Gene's
retuning algorithm? Gene's given the algorithm on tuning-math;
maybe he'd care to post that here. Gene, did you try this
piece with a fixed 12-tone meantone chain?

I don't have the link anymore to the ogg files, and can't find
them on Gene's site.

I tried it on Beethoven's fourth, first movement, and wasn't satisfied
with the result; so I plan on starting over. When I get more
experience with using the complex argument function to do extended
meantone, I was planning on explaining the fruits of my experience.

No, but I did do it with grail, which worked OK.

I need to move to another IP, but it's still there, under meantone,
81-equal.
