Poly-tuning in composition was Teaching

ok, thanks for expanding that.

Yes, I think with judicious use poly-tuning pieces can be another
composer resource. Most work I've seen/heard stays within the bounds
of a single tuning.

You could in a way think of it as being adaptive JI spread across
different instruments.

Well, it is all pleasing to the ear in compositional construction and

parts abide by 17-equal... Coming from two different sources to boot.

You have been instrumental in providing valid examples of suchlike
structure which have proven beyond disrepute that no single tuning is
the only valid one for everybody.

But will the newbies give up? I think not! Let the dangerous
ethnocentric and monolithic trends of little realism continue.

Cordially,
