Can you tell me what part(s) you disagreed with (or misunderstood)?
One of the reasons I ask is because I just has the computer calculate 
the stuff.
Another reason is that by looking at your last message I would assume we 
are in agreement - as to me the <M> being from <MIN> makes more sense 
than it coming from <MFH>.

So please explain.

"He who makes a mistake is still our friend; he who adds to or shortens 
a melody is still our friend; but he who violates a rhythm unawares can 
no longer be our friend."
-Ishaq Ibn Ibrahim 767-850 CE.

"If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you 
behave."
-Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"The difference between the intelligent man and the simpleton is not the 
correctness of their decisions, but rather the cunning sinner can more 
skillfully defend and justify his iniquity."
- Rabbi Tovia Singer
