As I understand it there's a great deal of speculation about what actual tunings he was writing for. I've seen where people "solved" it. I never found it that compelling, as I am more interested in non-tempered tunings. I'm glad to know he wasn't using 12-tET, and often tell people who were misinformed, but that's about where I stop reading. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
