It was discovered independently by Heinz Bohlen, John Pierce, Kees van Prooijen, and perhaps others, usually noticed for its good approximation of odd-number just ratios 3:5, 5:7, 3:7, etc. [[http://members.aol.com/bpsite/|Bohlen Pierce website]] Links to avaliable music written in BP at [[http://members.aol.com/bpsite/references2.html#anchor81501|above website]].
