I'm not too familiar wuth the alternative tuning
musical structure graphics scene yet, but I think
that 12EDO pitch class set theory has set some very
good precidents in terms of scale/set listing
conventions that may be useful in the alternative
tunings universe.

1. The smallest interval of any scale/tuning is always
listed at the far left (left to right ascending ala piano
keyboard).

2. The largest interval is always listed at the far right,
and this rule supercedes rule #1, so that the positioning
of the largest interval has priority over that of the
smallest interval.
