Updates : If I make any updates I will send them to you as they are made, of course free of any further charges. One update I already have in mind is Using only Minor and Major chords over Mayamalavagowla. This will mean approximations of chords natural to MayaMalawaGowla, and addition of notes which are outside the scale, while still sounding fine.
