It's really hard to find my way around in this, but the keyboard layout helps a good bit: even when I'm not familiar enough with where everything is to know how the note I'm about to produce will sound, I sort of have some logical idea about the way in which it will be related to the other stuff I'm playing.

The scale I'm using here is justly tuned with the following ratios:
1, 27/25, 25/21, 9/7, 7/5, 75/49, 5/3, 9/5, 49/25, 15/7, 7/3, 63/25, 25/9, 3/1

The keyboard layout puts 5/3 on the \ diagonals and 9/5 on the / diagonals, and has single chromatic steps going across. The pairs of black dots are 3/1 apart (and help me work out where identical notes are, because the layout is slanted).

I've been struggling to find ways to make things resolve in B-P, it's very hard to really build cadences of the usual sort.
