Next in the series of Tonescape files for all of the
temperament families described in Paul Erlich's
"Middle Path" paper (published summer 2006 in
_Xenharmonikon 18_):

A zipped archive of Tonescape files for TOP porcupine,
5-limit. I've included:

* a .space Tonespace file showing the tempering-out of
the [1 -5, 3> = 250:243 maximal-diesis;

* tuning files of the porcupine DES shown in Erlich's
horogram:
6-note (1L+5s = 385c, 162c),
7-note (1L+6s = 223c, 162c),
8-note (7L+1s = 162c, 61c),
15-note (7L+8s = 102c, 61c),
22-note (15L+7s = 61c, 41c),
and also the 37-note (22L+15s = 41c, 20c) porcupine DES

* sample .tonescape Musical Piece files, illustrating
all of the modal rotations of the 6-note (1L+5s),
7-note (1L+6s), and 8-note (7L+1s) DE porcupine scales.

(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.)
