I never suggested Scientific Pitch was in tune with international > concert pitch - it's severely flat! Really? --new concept for me-- Scientific Pitch = A432 = Pythagorean pitch? Hmm, well that brought up some interesting pages when I Googled for it. I'm interested in creating music based at this pitch for a variety of reasons - one of my major motivations for wanting to use computers for music is to explore the realms of intonation, pitch and temperament. I shall be compiling scala over the holidays to that end. It's all relative I guess. ;-) Thanks for that lead. --tim hall
