That is good to know.

Perhaps we should try and write tests that vary all the edge cases of the classes for examples that are easy to understand?

The rest might then be just proof-reading the scale and tuning data themselves. I vaguely remember you once mentioned the source for the scales, but I can’t find it anymore ...
