"just temperaments"

Not everybody will agree with this, but from Gardner Read's _20th
Century Microtonal Notation_ which I'm currently reading:

"But not all composers who resort to just intonation in devising
their microtonal systems regard the results in exactly the same way.
In general, however, they mainly agree with the statement of Peter
Yates: 'The revival of just intonation reopened the art of concordant
sonority which went out of vogue with the change from polyphony to
monodic music at the end of the sixteenth century... There is no one
absolute scale of just intonation. The fixed scales devised by Lou
Harrison (12 tones to the octave), by Joseph Yasser (19 tones to the
octave), and by Adriaan Fokker (31 equal-tempered one-fifth tones in
the octave), should be distinguished from mutable just intonation by
calling them "just temperaments..."

All,

Todfay I finished getting the bugs out of my Db JT key signature. Meantone or
Werckmeister won't play correctly in Db. But my Db JT scale will! I posted
the C version here. The Db scale is 100 cents higher, taken from the 17/16 Db
105 cents..
