Carl,

What is the lumma_22.scl file?

It says "intervals of attraction by trial and error 1999."

Could you tell me what intervals of attraction are in lay mans terms?

Thanks,

Chris

I dumped a ton of rational intervals on my keyboard and tried
to hear which ones stood out from the rest.

It's not a term. It's just how I tried to explain it in
one sentence.

I think C 262, but I don't really remember.

It was just a big scale of rational numbers, so right,
all different kinds of step sizes.
