Sometimes a normal sort of transversal using only two odd primes cannot be found for a given planar temperament, in which case the transversal will not work with Scala's lattice drawing command. In these cases an ''oblique'' transversal can be given; these have completely incorrect values considered as approximations, but with a correctly chosen val ~~or tuning map,~~ will give correct results for the temperament tuning. Since there is no reason not to, we use 2.3.5 5-limit vals for oblique vals, and give a corresponding ''valid val'' which will give correct N-edo tunings for the given oblique transversal. In Scala, under the pull-down menu for Modify, scroll down to Project, and check the Project the val option. Put the valid val into the box, apply it, and you transform the oblique transversal into the correct tuning. Oblique transversals are listed with an asterisk, like Roger Maris supposedly was.
