Kaye" I appreciate Denny Genovese's response to my query: "So, thanks to your interest we are (at least for now) abandoning the assertion that '[Just intonation] is therefore the starting place from which all indigenous musical traditions began' and will modify our web page accordingly." I especially like the parenthetical "at least for now," because my point was not to criticize the assertion, but to encourage our tuning experts to undertake the research that would prove or disprove it. We badly need a "World Harmony Project": if we actually measured and classified world harmonic practice (i.e. intervallic usage whether played simultaneously in chords or in recursive melodic patterns) we would probably have many of the answers participants in the tuning list are looking for.
