Would 2nd root of 8:7 [a.k.a. the 116 cent scale] qualify as a "dicot" 0_o?
If not, what would it be classified as?

Thanx to everyone who replied in regards to this topic/thread... I guess 2nd
root of 8:7 could be called _miracle dicot_... or, hehe, _miraculous
mandarin_! (OBTW when I first encountered the word _dicot_, I immediately had images of
Hindu thuggees and such...)

Besides being Chinese, I like the 8/7 interval and its beating
effect/affect in low and mid registers.

What? You are presuming to lay claim to a section of the sound spectrum
0_o?
Then, of course, sometimes great (or hyper-) minds think alike... :)
