Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings

A US-based customizer pointed out to me that the tuning in the post above would be an exceedingly difficult re-tuning project. With that in mind, I offer the tuning below.
What’s in it:
1) Full I and IV chords that are in-line with each other on the low end.
2) Three continuous octaves of G (the I chord) blues scales, none of which rely on overblows. The middle G blues scale (traced out with a bright blue line) is exceptionally speedy/easy to play.
3) More than two continuous octaves of C (the IV chord) blues scales. The lower of these relies on one overblow; the upper (traced out with an orange line) relies on none.
4) More than two continuous octaves of D (the V chord) blues scales. The lower of these relies on one overblow and would be cumbersome to play. The upper D blues scale (traced out with a magenta line) does not rely on overblows and is much easier to play.
