Hey all,<br><br>Since the subject of temperaments and tunings came up I just wanted to mention that I'm such a passionate devotee of non-12-equal tunings and microtonality, that I started an organization called UnTwelve (<a href="http://www.untwelve.org">www.untwelve.org</a>), whose mission is to program and educate people on music in various different tunings and temperaments.<br>
<br>You'll also be interested to know that I hacked on Aeolus 6 years or so ago and added a custom Just Intonation scale using only the 3rd and 7th harmonics. The results can be heard at:<br><br><a href="http://www.akjmusic.com/audio/theatre_work/PeerGynt/07_troll_music.mp3">http://www.akjmusic.com/audio/theatre_work/PeerGynt/07_troll_music.mp3</a><br>

Hi Julien,<br>

</div>It's easy to change. Edit the file stops-***/Aeolus/definition.<br>
Near the top you'll find a line<br>
<br>
/tuning 440.0 1<br>
<br>
The second number is an index into the list in my previous<br>
post, starting at zero. You'll find it as well in scales.cc.<br>
<br>
Werckmeister III will probably work well in most cases.<br>
To test, play something in A flat. The main problem with<br>
Meantone is the Ab-C-Eb chord (just try it !).<br>
<br>
If you want to switch easily, you could for example create<br>
a directory stops-***/Aeolus-ET, copy the definition file<br>
there and set it to Equal Temperament. Then use the -I<br>
command line option to select this one.<br>
