Hello all,

I've made an interesting Tonescape file for one of my students
(he's learning the piece on the piano): an arrangement of the
March from Prokofiev's "Love for 3 Oranges".

/tuning/files/pieces/prokofiev_love-for-3-oranges_march_699.99-ct-mt.tonescape

(You have to be a member of the Tonescape Den Haag group
to access the file, and you need Tonescape running to use it.)

What makes it interesting is that i tuned it in a 31-tone
meantone whose generator-5th is 699.99 cents, so that it is
essentially a type of torsional 12-edo which allows all 31
common spellings in the meantone chain from Gbb to Ax,
and puts them all on the Lattice.

I suspect that for piano pieces of the "common-practice"
period and the 20th-century, i'll probably be using this
torsional 12-edo so that i can preserve the composer's
original spellings from now on, instead of true 12-edo.

Enjoy!
