Certainly the evidence suggests that India achieved the 5-limit before the West. Graham, I really don't understand what you're trying to do here, although it seems that my bringing in a JI interpretation of the historical description of the sruti system was somehow helpful to you. I get the feeling that you're doing some interesting work, but you're speaking a language too different from the majority of the tuning list to engage many of us with your ideas. The last message in particular was very obscure. Can you try doing some hand-holding for us and explain what you mean by "this works," "that doesn't work," a "0-comma scale," and "this temperament"? Feel free to review you matrix/determinant stuff. It may actually be valuable for understanding ancient Hindu music. Then let's talk 7-limit.
