For the sceptics, those who don't want to do their own math, for the math
challenged, for the kind, and not so kind, messages on- as well as off-list,
in person even (hoi Taco!) but most of all for all of you who, with me,
consider this to be a complicated issue anyway and who welcome every bit of
help, I've included a table of fret deviations from ET, expressed in cents,
for 1/4 as well as 1/6 comma meantone in my DIY meantone fretting article. I
make these tables on the back of envellopes whenever I have to play in a
temperament I'm not familiar with. It's supposed to be a drawing of the neck
of the lute, but I'm not a little html challenged, and - especially after
the bottle of tempranillo/cabernet sauvignon, not to mention the complicated
harmonies in BWV20 this afternoon, in Silbermann, mind you! - this was the
best I could come up with. See my website www.davidvanooijen.nl, go to
writings and Meantone temperament for lute. Corrections on my math are
greatly appreciated.
