Good work. The 9 strings (Nonachord) of the silver lyre seems to be an evolution of the 7 string (Heptachord) lyre, since tones G and A are redundant. The explanations suggest, that the silver lyre is easier to tune?

The enneachord was know in the fourth millennium. The heptachord from the middle of the first millennium. The fifth is to the enneachord is what the fourth is to the heptachord.

@@JürgenLange-d2o You are right. pitum is one of the archaic intonations discovered by Dom Jean Claire of Solesmes. Pitum, g-a-c-d-e-g-a, anhemitonic, and the with added pien (quilisma and stropha) to g-a-b-c-d-e-f-g-a, with mother chords c-d-e.

IMHO, there are missing sharps and flats at 42:20ff: isartum CBAGFEDCsharpB, quablitum CBAGFsharpEDCsharpB etc. pitum and embubum ok. The clay tablet is incomplete.

Indeed the clay tablet is incomplete and I have worked from its cast at the BM since the original is now in Bghdad. However, in my recent and frequent visits to the Iraqi museum, I could not locate it. For the scales may I suggest the following: archive.org/details/book_20240725/mode/2up
