It's not important for the same reasons, of course, but "not important" (at all) is overstating the case a bit, I think. Consistency level of high ETs can still provide useful information--in Margo's case, for example, a synth whose internal ET had a consistency level greater than or equal to 12 at the 3-limit (as 1024 does) would require no nanotempering at all for most Pythagorean scales. --pH http://library.wustl.edu/~manynote O /\ "Churchill?
