Good explanations of tuning systems

I'm new to all this so bare with me.

A while ago I saw web site where someone had written up (perhaps as part of
a PHD) a theory on a tuning system that got round the compromises of the
well tempered scale whilst keeping the advantages. Additionally, the report
contained a good explanation of traditional tuning systems.

I thought I saved it to disk for later reading but apparently I didn't.
Does anyone know what report I'm talking about or equivalent sources of
inforamtion.

Thanks

Could it have been the Lucy tuning?? Try

various microtonal web sites:

God, I hope not!

Adaptive tuning?

Joe, if you can remember any other details, that would be helpful.
Otherwise, the possibilities are almost endless.

I don't think so but thanks for the links. Useful starting places.
