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

Charles Lucy:

Don't be silly. You tried this once before and evidently did not register our
response. In classical harmonics, "major" (large) and "minor" (small) are
terms of the trade, with varying values within particular tunings or
temperaments. One cannot copyright a set of variables!

Once again, may I point out Lou Harrison's article "ITEM: Five-Tone,
Six-Tone, and Seven-Tone Modal Forms within the Traditional Matrix of Two
Tetrachords separated by a Nine to Eight" in Xenharmonikon 4, universal
copyright 1975. Harrison uses L and s to represent -- yes! -- LARGE and
small.

Given your sense of priority, Mr. Harrison would be well within his rights to
restrict _your_ use of the variables L and S. Heck, he should probably ask
you to recall all the copies of your book for correction.

Fortunately for you, he is a scholar and a gentleman, and wise enough to know
better.
