Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings
To add a bit of complexity to the tuning above, we can raise the 5 blow by three semitones. By the way, I see that there is a continuous Gmin chord from 3 to 10 in the draw layer.

Position/key/scale tables for Newton Fourkey tuning
I upload this post with trepidation. Newton Fourkey is a big idea comprising hundreds of tiny details.
