One way to learn it might be to try out the file diatonic.ck [1] I wrote for ChucK [2]. It starts up in quarter-comma extended meantone, setting the major third to the rational interval 5/4, though one can easily choose another tuning. One plays on the typing keyboard in a 2-dimensional layout, corresponding to the two generators of the staff notation system, then. A transpose is then same as a translation on the keyboard. If one makes the wrong choice of E12 enharmonic note, then one plays a wolf interval. So that gives an interactive way to discover the difference. 1. https://secure2.storegate.com/Shares/Home.aspx?ShareID=f2f70b60-a7f7-4d15-9c36-6763de133c62 2. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
