This is a screenshot from the latest version of Tonescape,
showing a Lattice of 799-edo in 3-5-space, with
Geometry | Closed Curved warping it into a torus.

One note has been selected with the mouse, and is
highlighted in orange with its pink (3-axis) and green
(5-axis) connectors darker than the connectors of all
the unselected notes.

The pink note is the reference (1/1 ratio) pitch.

Why in the world are you picking on 799?

Simply because 799 is the totally-arbitrarily-decided-upon
upper limit on Cardinality in the quick-and-dirty
"File | New | ET Tuning" command.

I had made a desktop of the 799-edo Lattice on the old
Sundog version of Tonescape (the one you have) for
Brink's computer, and i just downloaded the latest
(Mustang) version tonight, and the new Lattices are
so much prettier than the old ones that right away i
made a new desktop for him.

Then, since he's directly working with the 768-edo
"hexamu" version of Yamaha tuning units on his TX-81z's
right now, i made a 768-edo Lattice, and we both agreed
that it was much more beautiful than 799.
