Yes, Christopher. I'm peddling as fast as I can to respond. You did great.

Wow! What a great contribution, Dave. I've been referring to the 6:7 third
in my music theory classes as the "dinky third," and that really has no
class at all. The term "subminor third" will allow me to regain my dignity
as a very cool professor of music. Many thanks.
