It's spelled Vicentino, and that's right.

How could it possibly come out wrong? I'm not sure what the difficulty is.
For music with triadic harmony, you only need to augment the usual 1/4-comma
meantone chain, used for the roots and major thirds, with an exact copy of
that chain 1/4 comma higher, used for the fifths and minor thirds. Then all
the triads come out in JI within themselves.

Gotcha... Thanks! This is obviously where the "double keyboard"
comes in...

Ok... so this is remedial...

I thought a 1/3 comma chain is what made the MINOR thirds just. Why
wouldn't it be a superimposed 1/3 comma chain rather than a 1/4 comma
chain?? And wouldn't the 1/3 comma chain be BELOW the 1/4 comma
chain since more of the comma has been subtracted??

woeboy...
