From db72751597a95e2533eac86657e0f193474ce39b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 17:47:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Note the 5comb notes message in the comb chapters The comb-drones recipe's "Hz only, keep mtof handy" caveat becomes the notes-message idiom (fractional MIDI, so the just-intonation voicings enter exactly), and the fivecomb chapter's tuning knob mentions it.
