Cool stuff you've written! As it happens I first heard about a 'spiral of fifths' (as opposed to circle) only a few weeks ago - on a site that has enough tuning theory to make your head explode. When you draw the fifths as a spiral, you can keep adding new notes around the inside and outside, to get scales of 19, 31, 43, 55 notes...

Hope the lecture goes well.

Hi Gordon
thanks. It's hard to decide where you have to draw the line. People have discussed about tuning systems for thousands of years and no one seems to agree with anyone else Wink
