Sacred Head in the Wolf’s Lair

This one was an experiment with a tuning that works well in the primary keys of the chorale, but goes into strange territory with notes outside those triads. It’s designed to sound good with the following triads: D major, A major, G major, B minor, F# major, and E minor. But there is more to the chorale than some triads. The scala file is here:
