That's not really a consideration: the partial pipes are always tuned in pure ratios to the main pipes as their function is for tone color rather than harmonic. >> Accordions are tuned by ear by good tuners, and those >> _are_ equal tempered as a rule. > > That is for standard full size accordions. Well, yes. Chromatic unisonoric ones in particular. It would be tricky to tune to the beating of a tone on the push with a tone on the draw... Diatonic/bisonoric accordions are a dark art of its own. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
