Scala and brats

Scala can be used to look at the brats of a scale in Scala format.
In the menu, go to Analyze, and then pull down Show beats. In the
dialog box, check Show relative frequencies, and enter 5/4 3/2 in the
box for Just intervals. The results under ratio 2 are -brat. Under
ratio, you get an associated ratio, and you get another by putting in
3/2 5/4 instead of 5/4 3/2, and looking under ratio.

Thanks, Gene, for pointing this out. (And kudos to Manuel for putting
all these neat things in there that many of us never expected to use --
but eventually do!)
