It looks like you hide the "wolves" between push and pull ranks, so that the worst deviation from just is like, a (one?) third sharp by 6 cents (vs. what, 14 cents in 12tET). It's a really neat, if idiosyncratic system. > Yes, it is interesting that a wide 5th somehow sounds much more > tolerable than a narrowed one. But consider the octave, it does too. I agree, and your 1202 cent octaves seem an advantage, but I've been playing a guitar with flat octaves which aren't uncomfortable. Nice, "big" sound from chords. Thanks for posting this. Clark
