Re: 41 "miracle" and 43 tone scales

Sorry about the previous message, sent by mistake.

Sure. There are two in the Scala archive, But that's not what I meant.

No. I didn't say that either. But he might not have noticed if someone
had substituted a scale which was MIRACLE-41 plus a couple of extra
notes from MIRACLE-45.

Read:

and
http://www.microtonal.co.uk/decimal_lattice.htm#partch
and then tell me what you don't understand.
