I'm interested Dan, but I don't understand your notation. Can you explain?

d is "d"ivision (any so defined equidistant division of the octave)� O is 12
("O"ctave), F is 7 ("F"ifth), and f is 5 ("f"ourth)� rni simply stands for
"r"ound to the "n"earest "i"nteger (and .5>; round exact halves down)� N is
"N"umerator, D "D"enominator� s stands for the "s"equential + and -, and [i]
stands for ["i"]nversion�

Apparently I had come across this a couple of years ago, but as I wasn�t
exactly looking for �it�, I consequently never really stopped to �see it'...
I have a couple more of these, but this one is probably the least convoluted
(as well as the one that least distorts the actual equidistant divisions of
the octave; for better or worse...).
