ICMC

Just a quick note to the list complimenting John Chalmers and Bill Sethares
for their excellent Tutorial sessions on experimental intonation and timbre
at the ICMC in Hong Kong (John's was terriffic; I missed Bill's but heard
great things). Also, thanks to Linus Liu for showing a group of us around
and being so hospitable in Hong Kong!

I don't understand....I tune according to a "root" not a scale. Please
