31EDO Tuner

A Musescore plugin for tuning scores to 31EDO.

Features

This plugin can be used to tune the whole score, or only a portion of it, to 31EDO.

It's compatible with the following notation systems:

• Circle of fifths notation, using double sharps and flats. In this system, a sharp or a flat indicates an alteration of 2 EDO steps, and a double sharp or a double flat an alteration of 4 EDO steps. For example, a chromatic scale between C and D would be written as:

• Neutral circle of fifths notation, using half and sesqui sharps and flats. In this system, a half sharp or a half flat indicates an alteration of 1 EDO step, and a sesqui sharp or a sesqui flat an alteration of 3 EDO steps. For example, a chromatic scale between C and D would be written as:

• Sagittal notation, using quarter tone and half tone arrows. In this system, a quarter tone arrow indicates an alteration of 1 EDO step, and a half tone arrow indicates an alteration of 2 EDO steps. For example, a chromatic scale between C and D would be written as:

These notation systems are not mutually exclusive, the plugin can correctly tune a score which uses a mixture of them.

See here for a list of every supported accidental.

Usage

• If the score contains transposing instruments, ensure that the score is being displayed at concert pitch. If it's not, the notes of transposing instruments will not be tuned correctly.
• If you want to tune only a portion of the score, select it before running the plugin. If nothing is selected, the entire score will be tuned.
• Launch the plugin:
  • Musescore3: Plugins → Tuner → 31EDO
  • Musescore4: Plugins → Playback → 31EDO Tuner

If the score contains transposing instruments, you can safely turn off concert pitch after running the plugin, as the tuning of the notes will not be affected.
