Yes, Ken:
It's a piece of cake, a general theory of harmony, describing
'modulation', etc. in other TET's.
And incidentally, the term 'consonant' need not appear
in such discussion. For that matter, what's not to like
about chords in 13TET?

Great! I'm a beginner at intonation theory, though (Partch's book
is way over my head at this point). Where can I find out about
what others have done with such a general theory. What I've been
doing is writing what sounds good to me, not what could be called
functional harmony (in the Schoenbergian sense), and I would like
to get a fluency in non-12tet harmony the way I have 12-tet.
