PHITER tuning revised for a potential extra tonal center

  I found out a trick to get an extra note out of the PHITER scale.
  So now the scale has 11 notes per its 1.618^2 "octave" period.

  That note, far as my ear can tell, is pretty close to a "tonal center".  In fact I was heavily debating using it vs. the note after it (1398.343) in the first version of the PHITER scale because I found it sounded better vs. every other note except for the one next to it (to which it sounded obviously out-of-key before).
   However I figured out that using more accuracy to calculate the ratios (changing the accuracy by only about 1-2 cents) resulted in a situation where I could use both ratios without their sounding dissonant.

  Please let me know if that helps you solve your "I can't find enough good tonal centers in your scale" problem.

I don't know if one can patent a use like that. Though IBM recently patented a business method for spliting up a bill at a resturaunt when credit cards are used. Sent via BlackBerry from T-MobileFrom: Marcel de Velde
