I have done more work on the Huygens-Fokker website:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf (Nederlands)
http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/english (English)

There are more articles, click on "Literature".
Simon Stevin's treatise on tuning "On the theory of the
art of singing" in Fokker's English translation is now
available completely. Take a look if you're interested
because scanning and formatting this was a lot of work.
Fokker's introduction "Simon Stevin's views on music" is
also there.
There's a description of the 31-tone organ by the organ
builder Pels himself (in French).
An article by Fokker about equal temperaments "Les Mathematiques
et la musique". Also some articles in Dutch.

Several more microtonal MIDI files, click on "Music". This
page now also in English.

The section "Persons" gives access to some short biographies.

The section "Groups" contains the addresses and links of
microtonal groups and ensembles in the world. The descriptions
are only in Dutch for the time being.

The page about the new CD now gives access to MP3-samples of
some tracks.

The section "Links" also has been expanded.

Many pages don't have an English translation yet; the site is
under construction. Also links to some MP3 files don't work yet.
