source file: mills3.txt Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 17:39:26 +0100 Subject: Fretless versus Fretted From: Alex Van Wey Now is it better to have fretless instruments which can play any tuning at anytime, or a Fretted one? In Just Intonation, what does "limit" refer to? I'm eager to learn. Also, has anyone tried Irrational Ratio Intonation? Like pi/3, pi/1, square root of 2/1, square root of 3/1, or even square root of 2/suare root of 3? Mathematically, it appears that 6 in 12tet (tritone) is square root of 2/1. What about a standard notation that can accurately capture any tuning? (freqeuncy,volume,time) (440Hz, 25dB, 0-0.04s)?
