Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your music for _The Miser_,
and am glad that my work on Ganassi's tuning inspired you to do this.

I feel compelled to mention something I just discovered a couple of
weeks ago, in Barbour's book: Ganassi intended for some of the notes
to be tempered slightly away from the JI ratios I give in my webpage.
So the tuning I presented is really a rational "archtype" for the
actual tuning. The differences would be very slight -- the reason
I haven't updated the webpage is that it's not exactly clear what
the precise tuning would be -- but in any case, it should be mentioned.
