Hi gang!

I uploaded three files to introduce a couple of concertina buttonboard layouts designed by Mark L. Vines for playing George Secor's 29-Tone High Tolerance Temperament.

Secor's brilliant invention is a fabulous near-just non-equal well temperament included in the Scala archive, where its filename is secor29htt.scl, & where its recommended notation is coded SAHTT, for Sagittal High Tolerance Temperament. The scale is capable, among many other virtues, of playing otonal ogdoads to odd limit 15 in six different key signatures.

The manual designs are part of an ongoing quest for acoustic instruments that can play the scale. Comments, questions & criticisms are welcome.

Unfortunately, when I clicked on the choice of automatically notifying the group about the uploads, the notifications appeared with botched URLs. Here is better access info.

The files can be found by going to the MakeMicroMusic groupsite, clicking on Files, then opening the "manuphonic manuals" folder. They include a JPG & a PDF, which conveniently orient the same image different ways, & an explanatory TXT file. Any further uploads in the series will appear in the same folder, possibly without automatic notification.

Cheers!

Hi Manu,

I've downloaded your files & have several comments & questions regarding your proposed concertina layouts. Since we've already been discussing the 29-HTT temperament in detail privately, I'll reply to this off-list.

Best,
