En réponse à Tony Hogard <james.hogard@...>: [snip explanation] Thanks for the explanation! So a just intonation scale takes all the notes as whole number fractions of a basic note, while temperaments take the ratio between two consecutive notes to be equal. Interesting. Is there any reason other than historical for A=440Hz to be the basic note from which the Western scales are based on?
