changing tunings midstream

Hi,

Is there a program out there that will adapt a just intonation scale to
make the chords sound better? For example (in 12 note JI)- if we have C
= 1/1, F = 4/3, and G = 3/2 then we might have two choices for D... If
we play D with F, we would have D = 10/9. If we play D with G, D = 9/8.
Thus we would need to sometimes play the D with one pitch and sometimes
with another. Is there something out there that adapts this way?

Possibly the Hermode system?

(sorry - it looks like they built their site with Flash, so you'll have to choose the English (if that is what you need) site from that main menu)

Cheers,
Jon

Take a look at intunation.com. The intended usage of this package
may be different from what you are looking for, but it does make
the 10/9 9/8 distinction.

Zeta supports hermode dynamic tuning:

Firebird has something called 'intelligent microtuning' which sounds
similar:
