From: Tom Dent (2009-01-30) Subject: mod meantone 7 11 13 19 A fairly good approximate version of the scale: round the cycle (0) (-4) 698 (-5) 195 (-5) 892 (-5) 389 (-4) 1087 (-5) 584 (0) 86 (+3) 791 (+3) 296 (+3) 1001 (0) 503 (-5) lined up: 86 195 296 389 503 584 698 791 892 1001 1087 1200 has 1- or 2-cent approximations to 7/5, 13/11, 14/11, 19/15, 19/16 - two of each. C-F# is mapped from 7/5 and 13/11 . 19/16 giving a comma 1235/1232 to be divided into three somehow. F-Bb is reached via F-Ab-C-F#-Bb, thus (approximations to) 13/11 . 19/15 . 7/5 . 14/11, which is 4/3 times 12103/12100 - schismatic enough to map to 1/1. Now I reckon some Bach organ works could be interesting... ~~~T~~~

Dear Tom, For Bach i tune modern organs in absolute "septenarian" pitches as: G2: (7*7=49 98 <) 99 198 396 := 440HZ*(9/10) an minor-tone below 440Hz ~ ~ -5.839... D4: (49*3=147 294 < 295 <) 296 (< 297 := 99*3) ~ ~ -5.857... A5: (49*9=441 882<)885=2*442.5 Metronome @150 beats/min vs. 440-fork ~ ~ -5.879... E6: 1323 := 49*27 2646 [> 2645 := 5*C5] ~ ~ -3.056...

Attend that http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0506094 http://www.sea-acustica.es/WEB_ICA_07/fchrs/papers/nla-04-002.pdf consider barely the fundamental 1/1 without discussing the higher partials of the overtone series as http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=7007 bye A.S.
