Ah, and here I was avoiding "notes" as I thought it could be
ambiguous. "defined pitches in the table", I mean. I'm anticipating
this will be fun for generative pieces that will work in multiple
tunings, and well, if that's a bad idea it's a simple feature.

All quite ok. I very much like this model of development. Where we can
all contribute a bit and come up with a decent end result.

I'll get back to work on this tomorrow, stuff popped up today.

Thanks!
