Subject: The Henry Ward Poole 100 note scale

This is a true historical curiosity, described in some detail in one
of Ellis' appendices to Helmholtz. It is something of a monstrosity,
but I'd suggest adding it to the Scala depository on historical
grounds; it doesn't seem to be there already. This should be correct,
as I made my list and checked it twice, etc. Ellis gives cents values,
including a wrong one for Ebb.

No, and it's a pretty strange-looking scale, with all those
schisma intervals in it. By far the most obvious way to temper it is
garibaldi, the 41&53 temperament. That boils the whole thing down to
Garibaldi[43], which is a hell of a big difference from a 100 note
scale. But with 43 notes out of 94, you could just go to the 94 and
you'd still have fewer notes than the 100 you started with.

it looks like 5 -22 tone pythag. seperated by other just intervals
