Alternate scales and alternate tunings are two different things. I'm not
interested in greater than 12 note scales. I just want to tune 12 note
scales differently. And I believe that some foreign scales have fewer than
12 notes, so some keys can just not be played. I think bagpipes can only
play whole note intervals for instance. I'll have to check my documentation
on Turkish scales.
