HT's on RCT

[Ron Koval]

Jon suggested:

Moore Representative Victorian

Mild enough so as not to alarm . The next step Ed tells me is the Thomas 
Young.

I'd add an intermediate with the Broadwood's best, not so much dissonence in 
that one.

In RCT, you can use pre-set temperaments or user-defined ones (use the 
numbers on Jason's website, for a start.)

Once you have a tuning calculated, (Even better if you have a "tweaked" 
tuning on file) go to the Tools menu, choose Historical Temp'ts, look under 
the Well temperaments, choose either:

1885 Representative Victorian Moore
1885 Ellis tuner #4 Broadwood Best

click the convert button and go.

If you are using a saved tuning and want to keep it ET, do NOT save your 
tuning after converting.

To play with custom temperaments, there should be a file called user 
temperaments in your RCT folder.  Paste blank to get an empty tuning with 
all offsets to zero.  Pick any one octave to alter using the offsets that 
have been published.  Save, and use the same method to alter a tuning as 
before.

Be warned: only ater Equal temperament calculations.  Each time you use the 
convert command, the tuning will be altered,.... you can end up with some 
wild tunings from altering an already altered tuning!
