I added the word "syntonic" to make it clear that I didn't mean to
include schismic temperament. "Syntonic meantone" may be a tautology,
but I wanted to _avoid_ confusion.

I've already said that I have an imperfect knowledge of the
terminology. How about discussing my ideas instead of the way I
describe them?
