This could be said to be an almost equal proportion of imitations, although 24tet has a remarkable amount of well-hit 11 limits. I think 24tet is good also because of its nice approximation of 4/3 and 3/2, which make for nice tetrachords. But there is obviously a great following of 22tet, and I would love to understand why. Obviously there are greater reasons than I have just comprehended. Thank you very much, and I would love to receive old copies of this discussion, if it would teach me something. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [Peter Blasser [Oberlin College Mailroom Box #277, 135 W.Lorain St., [Oberlin, Ohio, 44074-1081.
