From: Gene Ward Smith (2005-10-12) Subject: Synched mavilla Mavilla, the 135/128 temperament, is the one with the ultra-flat fifths. Mavilla[7] is like Meantone[7], with three major and three minor triads, but makes up for it by being much more out of tune. Below I give synched versions of the 7 and 16 note mavilla MOS; if Herman has any mavilla pieces lying around he might want to try this tuning. ! mavsynch7.scl Mavilla[7] in synch (brat=-1) tuning ! fifth satisfies f^4 + f^3 - 8 = 0 7 ! 152.674307 370.988539 523.662846 676.337154 829.011461 1047.325693 1200.000000 ! mavsynch16.scl Mavilla[16] in synch (brat=-1) tuning ! fifth satisfies f^4 + f^3 - 8 = 0 16 ! 65.639925 152.674307 218.314232 305.348614 370.988539 458.022921 523.662846 610.697228 676.337154 741.977079 829.011461 894.651386 981.685768 1047.325693 1134.360075 1200.000000

Nothing really close to being finished, but I've got a sketch of some Gargoyle music that I was working on a few years back when I first found out about the mavila scale in 16-ET. I don't remember what timbres I was using except for the xylophone, which is a favorite instrument of the Gargoyles (from the Ultima games). This isn't based on any music that was actually used in the Ultima games, although there's some vague similarity to the Gargoyle theme from Ultima VI. http://home.comcast.net/~teamouse/gargoyle-16et.mp3 Near the end it modulates and repeats the opening melody in a different key, so it's interesting to hear what effect this has in the mavila tuning. http://home.comcast.net/~teamouse/gargoyle-mavila.mp3

What the heck does it mean, anyway?

In Spanish, Mavilla would be pronounced Ma-vi-ya. No 'L' sound. Use a single letter 'L', and the Spanish reader *will* use the 'L' sound. So what do you mean, it's how you would presumably spell it if it was Spanish? > What the heck > does it mean, anyway? Apparently it's the place (in Mozambique?) where the Chopi were using such a tuning on their xylophones-type instruments. I'm sure Kraig knows more.
