This is cool...is this an offshoot of your 'Alaska' thinking?
I notice the flat octaves.

The flat octaves are Gene's idea, really.  He just convinced
me to try them out.  And they work well.  So far I've only
given them a fair shake on synths -- to put them on a piano,
I'm thinking beat rates must be used (I'm currently working
on a bearing plan).

The trines with brats of +2 are my doing, though it was
Gene who pointed out that because of the flat octaves making
good triadic brats in one octave won't transfer to other
octaves, and therefore that trinic brats were a good idea.

By the way, I don't know if I ever published Alaska7.  It's
definitely my best circulating flat-octaves tuning.

! 4 x 395-cent 3rds on C G D A.
! 4 x 399-cent 3rds on Bb F E B.
! 4 x 403-cent 3rds elsewhere.
!
! Also 1/9-comma zeta tuning, SSSSSSSLSLSL.

Remember, the 10ths will all be -3 cents of the 3rds.
And the minor 14ths too.

So, with stuff that's SATB at heart, and avoiding parallel 
perfects... this should be a very mellow and consonant tuning,
nice.
