	I wasn't able to understand this formula well enough to fix it, but I was able to come up with a new formula that does work in every case. Let Y = the sum of all the known monzo exponents plus 2*(S-X), divided by 7, and rounded off (i.e. the magnitude of [0 2(S-X) c d e ...>). Then, a = -3(S-X) - 11(M-Y) and b = 2(S-X) + 7(M-Y). I found these formulas by directly solving the equations for degree and magnitude for a and b – [https://gist.github.com/m-yac/2236a03dd9fe89a992477fbcbc63746c I wrote up my derivation here].

			: Great to see someone working on that. I have dreamed of a way to get this information. Hopefully, the inventor(s) and your approach find together in a constructive way. --[[User:Xenwolf\|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf\|talk]]) 13:22, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
