Eudora reveals that I posted this to the list in on
Nov 21st, 1998. Don't know why the web-based search
didn't find it. Probably the apostrophe-s on the end
of other music.

"""
A hybrid of the two is Other Music's scale....

4/3-----\-1/1-/-----3/2-------9/8

7/5
"""

This is actually a 12-tone subset of a 14-tone scale
that, as I understand it, was one of the principle scales
(but not the only one) they used.
