Just Intonation and Microtonality

• Oct 15, 2011 - 21:14

Hey, I've been using MuseScore for quite some time and really enjoyed it. But can you guys add another way to compose notes called Just Intonation and Microtonal? You know, and them on MuseScore?

Just Intonation is any musical tuning in which the frequencies of notes are related by ratios of small whole numbers.

Microtonal music is music using microtones—intervals of less than an equally spaced semitone.

Thanks!

Well I went to that Micro-tuning interval thing and downloaded Microtune. The problem is that when I extracted the files and opened plugins/microtune/microtune.readme, it didn't work; it said that Windows cannot open it (BTW. I have Windows XP). And on top of that, I made MuseScore itself opened it, and now I can't read the description for it.

Any alternatives of changing the tunings of notes/scales?

If I were picking, I would rename the "Micro-tuning interval" plugin as "Micro-tonal accidentals" (and include "quarter tones" and "Turkish Maqam" somewhere in the description), and I would rename the "Scales" plugin as "Unequal temperaments" or "Alternate tunings" (and include "Just intonation" somewhere in the description).
