[LUTE] Re: Lute Temperaments

[Ron Andrico]

   Sorry Howard, but you employed a faulty syllogism contrived by altering
   and amending my words, a typical lawyerly device.  I did not state that
   following Galilei's precepts is the one true way.  I said that
   musicians who understand music and wish to explore the more interesting
   repertory temper their instrument according to Galilei's precepts.  I
   stand by my words as I originally stated.  No subtlety.  No spin.  Go
   back to work.

   But you’re the one who just wrote:

   If there’s a difference between “tuning according to the precepts of
   Vincentio Galilei is the one true way” and “musicians who don’t tune
   according to the precepts of Vincentio Galilei don’t understand music,”
   it’s a subtlety lost on someone who hasn’t your genius for
   distinguishing complex ideas from contradictory ones.
