Subject: RE: Easy way to draw a circle of 5ths
Actually what you want to do is divide the circle in 6 and then divide each of those sectors in half. Much more efficient. Any elementary text on Euclidean geometry will explain it.

BUT. Accuracy is irrelevant for that one. No use you'll ever put the diagram to requires that the marks be evenly spaced. Whereas for the calculator I described, precision DOES matter.
