To wh. David Bailey:

I don't agree with your final statement -- that the derivation of the 
Western scale precludes also the derivation of additional scales from 
the same overtone series.  

I just knew someone wd. claim I said that. In fact, as you will see if you reread the 
sentence,
I only said that "numerous" non-Western scales were not so derived, not that all such 
scales are not.
