[NewMusic] microtones

[Amar]

Cool.  I will check this out as soon as the studio is warm enough to enter
(it's @#$%ing 33F this morning!).

I actually have been A-B-ing tunings in Emulator X a lot lately (Just,
Pythagorian, minor, etc., there's actually quite a collection), but mostly
more alternative 22ET, 19ET and BP scales, so between that and my original
training as a classical/jazz pianist, my ears and musical sensibilities
may not be ideal for this test...
