Orlando & Barrie, Sorry my last post was somewhat scrambled - I'll try harder this time. Beat rates are as per my ETD (metronome) ie per minute. Scales are between C40 and C52 1/4 comma Mean. c-g 147 g-d 219 d-a 164 a-e 246 e-c pure e-g# pure d-f# pure c#-a pure g-b pure d#-g pure d-a# pure f-a pure check c40-f 197 1/5 comma Mean c-g 118 g-d 175 d-a 131 a-e 197 e-b 147 b-f# 220 f#-c# 164 c#-g# 123 c40-f 157 f-a# 209 a#-d# 140 Silbermann 1/6 comma Mean c-g 106 g-d 160 d-a 119 a-e 179 e-b 133 b-f# 200 f#-c# 150 c#-g# 112 c40-f 143 f-a#190 a#-d# 127 Werkmeister iii c-g 160 g-d 140 d-a 178 a-e pure e-b pure b-f# 301 f#-c# pure c#-g# pure g#-d# pure d#-a# pure a#-f pure f-c40 pure Kirnberger iii c-g 147 g-d 219 d-a 164 a-e 246 e-c40 pure e-b pure b-f# pure c40-f pure f-a# pure a#-d# pure d#-g# pure g#-c# pure check c#-f# 75 Bach (Barnes) c-g 106 g-d 160 d-a 119 a-e 179 e-b pure b-f# 201 f#-c# pure c#-g# pure g#-d# pure d#-a# pure a#-f pure check f-c40 142 Bach (Kellner) c-g 128 g-d 191 d-a 143 a-e 215 e-b pure b-f# 240 f#-c# pure c#-g# pure g#-d# pure d#-a# pure a#-f pure f-c40 pure English 'Ord' Temp c-g 147 g-d 219 d-a 164 a-e 246 e-c40 pure e-b 67 b-f# 100 f#-c# 75 c#-g# 56 g#-d# 62 d#-a# 47 a#-f 70 check f-c40 49 French 18c c-g 106 g-d 160 d-a 119 a-e 179 e-b 133 b-f# 100 f#-c# 150 c40-f pure f-a# pure a#-d# 63 d#-g# 84 check g#-c# is pure 18c Italian c-g 160 g-d 240 d-a 178 a-e 269 e-b 67 b-f# 100 f#-c# 75 c#-g# 56 g#-d# 84 d#-a# 63 a#-f 95 check f-c40 71 Vallotti (Van Biezen) c-g 106 g-d 160 d-a 119 a-e 179 e-b 133 b-f# pure f#-c# pure c#-g# pure g#-d# pure d#-a# pure a#-f pure check f c40 142 Hope this will be of interest. I have also made notes on how I found the key colours, and what sort of music etc etc etc. I would be intersted. I have found the metronome an excellent tool in laying these scales as the beat rates are so unfamilliar compared to what becomes second nature after tuning in ET for so long. Regards Rob Thornton
