    Undergrad 1-dim Penrose tiling = "musical sequence"? Why?

    They're well described in Grünbaum and Shephard's book Tilings and Patterns (chapter 10, section about Ammann bars in Penrose tilings). They say Conway chose this name, like he chose the names of the vertex configurations like Jack, Queen and King... so I guess it's basically about fun and games :)
