Hi, colleagues:

A while ago, I produced tables in a low-tech. hand-written fashion to
represent intervals resulting from dividing the octave into successive
numbers from 13 to 24 to afford a convenient visual comparison with our
standard 12-tone equal tuning. I used the nth. root of 2 to make the
calculations. I placed these values on a grid, but now would like to
employ a clearer computer representation.

Does anyone know of a way --- with any of the Microsoft Office
programs --- on Windows 95 --- to take a column of a given length and then
have it automatically divided into n. divisions.

This is inspired by Easley Blackwood's Microtonal Etudes in which he
does these divisions & writes compositions to illustrate their respective
properties.

Thanks, Peter
