Not to mention singers. Every now and then one of the top
class opera singers produces a CD with jazz standards, and
the results are usually quite horrible IMHO.
The issue of Aeolus' temperament was mentioned in this thread.
The current release has
Pythagorean,
Meantone 1/4
Werckmeister III
Kirnberger III
Well Tempered
Equally Tempered
The next one will add
Vogel/Ahrend,
Vallotti
Kellner
Lehman
Pure C/F/G
which were contributed by Hanno Hoffstadt and Adam Sampson.
The default (set not by Aeolus but by the definition files
in the stops package) is Meantone 1/4, which is probably not
the best choice for playing some of the WTC (this is my error,
the intention was to make Werkmeister the default).
