If it is enough to play the pitches and tune by ear, I have written two 
programs [1] for ChucK [2], that also runs on GNUX. One is for regular tunings 
in 2D keyboard layout, mostly two generators, but one can have more, as in Just 
intonation. The other is for irregular tunings, and one can have several 
hundreds in a single file, currently a couple of tens of gamelan tunings. ChucK 
can do spectral analysis, but I do not know if somebody has implemented that in 
the form of a tuner that analyzes pitches.

Mi Mats,

Take a look at PitchLab, which already has a long list of built-in
historical temperaments and lets you specify your own (see also
http://polettipiano.com/wordpress/?page_id=1029).

that app only seems to allow me to pre-set a temperament with 12 distinct
pitches to the octave. I'm using a system of scales with over 180 distinct
pitches (and which is theoretically unlimited; I just chose to stop there).

Also, to answer Phil's reply, I don't have Windows. I run gentoo Linux on
my computers, and cyanogenmod Android on the smartphone.

Cheers,

Hi Phil,

thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it's iOS-only (I'm on Android), and
doesn't seem to allow finer tuning than whole cents values.

alas! But thanks regardless.

  Hi List,


  I'm guessing somebody on the list might be able to help me with a somewhat 
off-topic issue. 


  For whatever reason (or rather: see my previous posts to the list about my 
interest in just intonation) I'm trying to find a tuning app capable of tuning 
to very precisely-set reference pitches. That is, when dealing with music in 
just intonation, it's very common to describe a pitch with something like "C# 
-49.52c" where the latter part is a deviation in cents from a standard 
reference pitch (which can also be set as "A440" or some other tuning pitch 
[which is sometimes necessary when dealing with European orchestras inexorably 
tuning themselves higher and higher to seem more "flashy" or whatever]). I'm 
trying to find a (preferably free) Android app that can be set as precisely as 
possible, and then provide visual feedback to tune my instruments. 


  I normally use a Peterson virtual strobe tuner, but the screen is failing, 
and it gets wobbly if the pitch isn't from an organ or similarly stable 
instrument. It oftentimes jumps from the tuning pitch to its fifth, and is hard 
to read.


  Is there an app out there that has the capability I'm looking for? I'm having 
a hard time searching, because a lot of apps don't specify what they mean when 
they say they can be fine-tuned, and they usually don't mean this. I'd *like* 
it if I could get at least one decimal place; two would be even better.


  I figure some of you work with tuners a lot, and might have some tips.


  Thanks for the help!
