New Stuff! (Patreon)

Yo patrons! On my vacation I read some nifty papers by music nerds and came away with a new concept for the scale study. Invented by David Rappoport, the "interior area" is what you get when you map your tones spaced around a unit circle, connect all the dots into a polygon, and calculate the area of that polygon. It shares some of the moxy from maximally even sets, but they're more inclusive -- the natural (melodic) minor is has maximal area, as does the neapolitan major.

So, I've added a new section to the essay, and now you can see the area calculation on those scale detail pages. Fun times!
