Intonation Trainer

Here's something to worry about:

Transposing is not taxing enough on the brain, now master transposing into
a different temperament. <g>

That'll separate the mean from the boyz.

Most string player I have heard already play in a different temperament.

Lawrence Welk: " OK Boysa, Let'sa try it agen in Verkmeista, but I think
we'll need two accordions to fill their part".<G>

I can see it happening.

The program does have its merits though, just taking a little jovial liberty.

a 1, a 2 .  . .
