Holiday obsession and ZC-relations

I managed to figure out ZC-relations yesterday, thanks to some help from folks at the music theory subreddit. Turns out that one of the sources I was using was polluted with errors, and that screwed me up for quite a while. But I've figured it out now. Consequently I calculated from scratch all 16 ZC-related pairs, including 15 hexachordal pairs that are also Z-related.

That section of the book is filing out very nicely.

I had a lot of vacation time to use up at the end of 2024, and I spent quite a lot of it working on the book. I finished dozens of sections including some easy ones and others that had been vexingly opaque and difficult to write. There are whole chapters that are complete and good enough that I could reasonably call them "done". It's very gratifying to see all the progress that came about between November and now.

I also adjusted and corrected quite a few scale names in the collection, improving spelling of the Rāga transliterations and writing some useful utilities for managing the collection & keeping the scale detail pages updated w/ name changes.

I'll post some preview sections of the ZC-relations section when it's ready... soon.
