If anyone's interested in the deviations between the 1/4 comma meantone system, pythagorean stacked 5ths system (with added wolf), and our good ole 12-TET system, I just stumbled across the most fantastic resource here: it's definitely the most accurate, user-friendly and comprehensive site I've found anywhere.

Absolutely! And what's more, why don't we call it the tredectave for the chromaticists among us? Besides it's not only the diatonic family that have 8 notes, but 65 other scale families, and as you say, the 12 notes are not the only possible notes. I normally listen to music with 31 notes in the diapason anyway, so I call the octave a trigintaduotave.

12 semitones is enuff for me
