Erlich" I'm still waiting to receive TDs 1265, 1267, and 1268, but from the snippets of dialogue I have seen, I think I need to interject that out of dozens of treatises on Indian music I have read, only one claims that 22TET was ever used; there are a few variations but for the most part there is a 5-limit (or 3-limit with schismatic approximations of 5-limit, only 2 cents off) scheme for 21 of the 22 srutis that is widely accepted. Sruti #2 is a bit more difficult, and a tempered tuning for it seems plausible. My paper discusses Indian tuning and I have never claimed that 22TET would be a good tuning for it. There is, however, a nice one-to-one mapping between the srutis and 22TET, in that the consonances occur in the same place (6/5 = #6, 5/4 = #7, 4/3 = #9, 3/2 = #13, 8/5 = #15, 5/3 = #16, 2/1 = #22) . . .
