Odds and ends

Played around a bit with 6Ls 2s in 20ed2 and the dreamy, yet oppressing sound inspired these names for the modes:

Modes of 6L 2s

Pattern	Name	UDP
sLLLsLLL	Incubus	0|6(2)
LsLLLsLL	Succubus	2|4(2)
LLsLLLsL	Nightmare	4|2(2)
LLLsLLLs	Paralysis	6|0(2)

P.S. 12-TET is just 513/512, 729/722 in 2.3.19.
