I totally agree with Martin Shepherd (indeed two of our messages said
the same thing) but what is the valid point Ron was making ??
Leonard's original post was a question about his method for tuning 1/4
comma meantone, not whether it was appropriate or not to use it on
lutes, a can of worms I certainly did not wish to open (personally I use
both equal and 1/5 comma mean-tone on my lutes).
Best,
Matthew

Ron and Martin have valid points - in particular the advocacy of a true
meantone is something of a chimera on the lute. Indeed, this matter of
non-equal temperament on lutes has been considered on this forum a
number of times before - just search the archives. For example this
some seven years ago (and quite a few much more recently):
