Response to Carl - re; yahoo, list etiquette, scalecoding etc.

Thank you Carl for your responses:

.... then in the following posts in that Tuning Digest, I find someone complaining about "trouble at list file storage" and the suggestion to post at private sites.

I seem to remember that the content of all url's are archived somewhere on the net, so that although the site itself or Yahoo lists may cease to function,
the content is fairly easily "findable" in the archives of the net.
Most of the links that I refer are formatted as columns, or contain graphics which would be less clear in a text format.

Of course it's "self-promotional", we are living in an ego-centric, celebrity worshipping, capitalist society, of branding for the consumers.

So if you type "lullabies" into your iTunes store search, the top 14 of the 1250+ songs that are listed are all LucyTuned Lullabies (from around the world).

[We can all see that the corporations and governments are now attempting to dominate the net. - blah ^ n ] --- That's for another list;-)

It's about time we started making some decent money back from Lulls sales!

Since you ask I shall actually prepare a text explanation of scalecoding, and post it to the tuning list.

I still need to think it through as I also hope to be able to post my thoughts on how this type of system could also be extended and applied to produce
a classification method for scale types other than meantone.

Don't hold your breathe though; it'll take me a few days to fully think it out, and post an initial and hopefully practical proposal.

That would be very good, since the qusetion being asked in
this thread was absolutely, from the beginning, meant to
apply to all scale types.
