Just in case you misplaced them, here they are again:

One of the Drei Equali of Beethoven:
http://lumma.org/stuff/Andante12.mid

One of my own pieces:
http://lumma.org/music/score/midi/TuneForAdam.mid

And here's the score for the latter if you prefer to work
from that:
http://lumma.org/music/score/TuneForAdam.pdf

Though you'll find the MIDI file is very "clean", since it
was generated directly from the score.

Best,

Hi Carl,
Looks like I shouted allmost finished a bit too soon.
Sent that email after I analysed some aspects of the composition, but
greatly underestimated the work in actually tuning every single note.
It's the first time I'm tuning any composition, and the first time I'm
working with midi (sonar) on a computer (used my sy99 synth before).
So I had many things to figure out.
I've been working on eveything for 2 days allready, and think it may take
another 2 before I'm finished.
So please bear with me.
The end result will be perfect JI :)

Hi Carl,

At last, after much hard work, here is the Drei Equali tuned in perfect Just
Intonation:
/makemicromusic/files/Marcel/MdV_3equali1_JI.mid

For comparison here is the 12tet version:
/makemicromusic/files/Marcel/3equali_12tet_trombone.mid

Please also post the versions you said you have lying around and would not
post till I finished my version.
