***This is pretty much Ben Johnston's approach, but, quite frankly, I
personally think it's asking a lot. It's hard enough to get
traditional players to play *any* microtonality, much less analyze a
score. All they want to do is *play* for the most part...

This is anti-musician, as it stands. Please refrain from this, even if in a
humorous fashion, if you want to see any future with "players." After all, it
is much more "work" for players to "play" in new systems of intonation. : )

Why? Aren't singers real musicians in your book?
