Hello and a Question

My name is Keenan Pepper and I love JI! It's the only musical system that
makes sense and I am overjoyed that there's a lyst on it.

Now to the question part. An obvious (to me) consequence of spacial arrays
of ratios (lattices, ratio spaces & such) is the concept of a numerical
"musical distance" between two pitches. I've already made my own musical
distance formula based on the Pythagorian theorem, but I was wondering if
there was an existing one to use instead. I haven't heard of one yet, but
I'm not yet well acquainted with the Just Intonation world.

Does anyone know of one?

Asks,
Keenan

That's a very nice and intriguing question. I'll think about it,
