After I posted the note, Brian told me that he had made a couple of errors, but he didn't think they ] would be too confusing. The essential point of his paper was that non-diatonic, non-MOS (2 interval pattern), non-"chromatic" (in the 12-tet sense) scales are musically useful in these systems. I do not see that these scales fall into any of the usual classes, though his descending 19-tet scale is an impropoper MOS whose generator is 4 degrees of 19. --John Received: from eartha.mills.edu [144.91.3.20] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Sat, 3 Feb 1996 01:54 +0100 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id QAA28966; Fri, 2 Feb 1996 16:54:43 -0800 Date: Fri, 2 Feb 1996 16:54:43 -0800 Message-Id: <199602030052.LAA02551@anugpo.anu.edu.au> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
