BRAVO! I like these half-breeds better than either the 12 EDO or fully
vertically just versions. When I listen to the equal versions, my ear
is constantly working to pull the intervals toward just in my mind's
ear, so to speak; conversly, I find myself working against the awkward
step sizes in the just versions. But with the half-tuned ones, I can
relax and enjoy the music.

I do miss the rich consonances of the just Major 7 chords but it's
definitely worth it to me to have the melodies move more seamlessly.
