Let's get our own mailing list -- or appoint a "curator of world music" on the Wiki. I am on the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list, which has the experts on xen/microtonality, world scales, etc. But as far as I know I'm the only one there with an XO. Let me see if I can get "scala" (the musical scale analysis program, not the programming language) up and running on my XO. That's pretty much required if you want to deal with world scales. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
