The one I like is the default one in Aeolus, Werckmeister III. This can be used in all keys, but they sound different. Aeolus also has Meantone (1/4) - try A-flat using that... and some others inclufing equal temperament which I really dislike for anything except Wagner :-) Ciao, -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
