Wilcox & White 44-note vs. Aeolian 46-note Rolls
By Todd Augsburger

Considering the unavailability of 44-note rolls, it is worth noting
that message 12 in the 020219 MMD Archives claims that the Wilcox &
White 44-note and Aeolian 46-note scales are compatible.

The Aeolian 46-note scale is documented on this webpage:
    http://music.organettes.com/scales/home 
where it shows that there's a low G#, A#, C#, D#, and then G# through C#.
It would certainly be possible that the W&W 44-note scale would use the
same intervals except for the lowest two.

Can anybody verify this?  If so, I'll add it to the documentation.
