Tonescape files: TOP magic, 5-limit

I've begun creating Tonescape files for all of the
temperament families described in Paul Erlich's
"Middle Path" paper (published summer 2006 in
_Xenharmonikon 18_).

The first one to be uploaded to the tuning-files group
is a zipped archive of TOP magic, 5-limit. I've included:

* a .tonespace file showing the tempering-out of the
magic-comma,

* .tuning files of the 7-, 10-, 13-, 16-, 22-, 41-,
and 60-note DES scales, as illustrated in Erlich's
horogram,

* a sample .piece file, illustrating all of the
modal rotations of the 7-note DES magic scale.

/tuning/files/monz/tonescape-top/tonescape_top_magic_5-limit.zip

You have to be a member of the tuning-files group
to access the file. I used Windows XP's 7-zip program
to zip the archive, but hopefully any unzipper will
work.

Much more to follow!
