software question

Hi Tuners,

It's been a realllllly long time since I've posted anything to the
list.

I've got a question: I've been working with the Sibelius software (4.0)
and I haven't found the built-in pitch altering facility in Sibelius
particularly easy to work with.

Does anyone know of any re-tuning software or hardware through which I
could output a Sibelius midi file? I'd like to be able to convert 12
e.t. to Just - either in terms of cent-shifts or ratios.

Regards,

Robin Perry

Scala can retune MIDI files.

You can also tell it specifically which MIDI notes should equate with
which frequencies/ratios/whatever. So, for instance, if you want the
white keys to represent a Greek tetrachordal scale, and you want an
alternate 7th (I forget the Greek terms), but the alternate note is
higher than the normal note, you can still map the alternate to B
flat, even though it's higher than the B note.
Or if you want more or less than 12 notes for some interval, or a
different tuning for each octave, you can tell it stuff like that too.

thank you... I'm going to be looking into scala as well as a few
others i've found on line...
I'm somewhat behind the times here, digitally speaking..

If you don't find anything suitable, I might be able to help you out.
