Gliss plus retuning

I've been working on the program, and now have it combining glissandos
from the input sequence (expressed as pitch bends) with the tuning I'm
calculating (also expressed as pitch bends). The results are very
kyool IMHO!!

As a young child in the early '50's, before Elvis, I heard lots of big
band swing numbers on the radio, and the sound got into my blood long
before I knew much about classical music. Like so many things, once it
gets in, it never leaves...

I've uploaded a lovely version of "A String of Pearls", illustrating
gliss plus tuning, to

change into the JMids directory, and download pearls.zip.

(includes original 12-tET, 5-limit adaptive JI, 7-limit adaptive JI)

To me, the rich horn chords (starting about 1 minute into the 3-minute
piece) come off so much better in 7-limit than in anything else! I'm
using fairly rigid vertical springs, as has been my habit so far in
multi-voice retunings. Horns and winds seem not to "mind" horizontal
motion as much as the piano does.
