'nuancing' (attn. Margo)

Hey there Margo !

While Googling for 'Boethius' I came across something you may find interesting on Music Theory Online.

Jay Rahn - Practical Aspects of Marchetto's Tuning

The term 'nuancing' is used in a similar spirit to your suggestion (nicely done and very useful, I might add !) in 'Re: Gothic/Neo-Gothic "JI" -- or "RI"? (reply to Dave Keenan)', 3rd Dec 2000, TD975.

'There I propose the term "nuancing" to describe the neo-Gothic concept
of a continuum of ratios, RI or irrational, as opposed to either the
harmonic-series-based outlook of JI or the calculated compromising of
pure intervals involved in temperament.'

Just my 2 cents (that's in Euros btw - we're not far off now :-) toward getting some new threads going. The whole Julia Werntz thing has turned out an absurd debacle.

Cheers,
Joel

***Hello Joel,

Actually, I can't entirely agree. I've been "enjoying" reading the
Werntz article and discussing the concepts, especially as they apply
to 72-equal, the system that I use!

I admit that possibly this thread has not been as intellectually
rigorous as maybe some of the young "old timers" on this list would
prefer, but it still has been valuable, and I think we are coming to
some kind of understanding on these matters...
