thanks, this is a bug. it seems the code simply looks for increasing 
order, not the starting value, to determine if the series is steps 
(relative distance ) or degrees (absolute)

so it takes (100 200) and  thinks that these are degrees because they 
are monotonically increasing :/ . if you switch: (200 100) then it 
works:

CM> (setq foo (new tuning :name 'one :cents '(200 100) :lowest 261.625))
#<tuning "one">

CM> (setq bar (loop for i to 3 collect (hertz i :in foo)))
(261.625 293.66412 311.1263 349.22748)

CM> (note bar :hz)
(C4 D4 EF4 F4)


according to the documentation it should be explicitly looking for an  
initial cent value of 0 (or scaler of 1 i guess) to determine if its 
step or degree values. ill try to fix this later today.
