True, true. I hear about this in the trumpet community all the time. "Tuners are useless. You need to learn to tune with your ear, because you can't tune unless you know what part of the chord you're playing, etc. etc. etc." Frankly, though, at my stage of learning, if I can play in tune in even temperament, that's plenty good enough for me. > I don't know if RG deals with any of this, but if you want to "fully" > support different tunings (which I'm not recommending), it will eventually > have to.

The glasgow-pitch-tracker people might have some work in this area worth checking out. I've never actually done anything with their branch, but it sounded like they were trying, among other things, to get RG to play quarter tones by inserting appropriate pitch bends. We'd need something like that for true just intonation. That's probably another one of those three years from now gravy things though. -- D.
