My bad! (Don't post when your blood sugar is too low.) Such tunings do tend to be positive, but degree of positiveness is determined by 12 * P5 - 7 T = X When X = 1, the system is singly positive. When X = -1, the system is singly negative. When X = 2, the system is doubly positive. When X = -2, the system is doubly negative. [etc.] So some of the systems satisfying the quoted equation (snipped) were singly, and others doubly positive. For the original question, the shortest term I can think of which the majority of the list would understand immediately would be "ET in which the syntonic comma equals one." --pH http://library.wustl.edu/~manynote O /\ "Do you like to gamble, Eddie? -\-\-- o Gamble money on pool games?"
