Re harmonic series

I found the papers I referred to in my earlier post. Simonton is the inventor of the new integer ratio chromatic scale-- Gwynn wrote about incremental scales of various types.

Simonton's scale is 1/1 17/16 9/8 19/16 5 4 4 3 17/12 3/2 19/12 5/3
16/9 17/9 2/1. The reference is

Hello John,

Nice to meet you!

Yes I know of the Simonton scale.
I found it about 2 years ago after (re-)inventing the scale myself.
Also found your chalmers-ji1, ji2 etc scales btw :)
So it's very nice to now talk to you, I was allready thinking about
contacting you about this.
Btw Vincentino, or Ganassi (if I remember his name correctly, it was a man
from the middle ages or something that built reed instruments or flutes I
think) also propesed such a scale hundreds of years ago.
I'll see if I can find it again later, no luck right now.

But all of the above scales were ment it seems to be fixed 12 tone scales.
My example scale is thesame as the Simonton scale indeed but my example
scale is only a very small subset for a single fundamental bass of the whole
tuning I'm proposing.
I'm proposing the whole harmonic series, repeated in fifths (fourths).
And the construction of scales by connecting segements of the harmonic
series.
And that harmony is the harmonic series above a fundamental bass.

The tuning I'm suggesting is not fixed, and when playing music will
constantly shift according to the fundamental bass.
The fundamental bass seems to me to move in fifths / fourths and it's
products.

I will post a sound example in an hour or so.
