RE: Large (L) = II : small (s) = bII re. stearn@capecod. net

Sorry Mr. Lucy, you may not claim exclusive use of the symbols L and s for
the large and small intervals of your tuning or even meantone tunings in
general. However, it makes sense to point out that Dan Stearns listed cases
where L<s, which does seem like an objectionable use of those symbols.

I've been through this with Charles Lucy (via private email) before,
and though I tried to assure him that I was not (intentionally)
cribbing his nomenclature, as I was not even aware of it at the time,
it still seems quite disagreeable to him, and as such I will try to
find some other appropriately generic (but straightforward)
descriptive tag to hang on two step size step sizes other than L & s.

Hmm... there was a typo to which I've already posted a correction: 2x5
@:L=2 s=5 etc., should have read 2x5 @: L=7 s=4... is there something
else (L<s) that I'm missing?

Sorry, Dan, I should have noted your correction.
