How nice to be validated! Thank you so much for the above reference-
great article. When I was actively messing around with different
tempering solutions on the lute, I ended up with 6th comma meantone
almost by default after running through a number of others- but did
not include V-Y ones. Dan
Yes, time and time again 6th comma seems the best solution, even to rather
modern baroque music like Bach and beyond. And the lute sounds so much
better than in ET. It's a cheap upgrade. ;-)
