Well, disappointingly they didn't do the tuning in Lilypond.
But they could have.

Use regular.ly with tuning=#53 or some other equal
temperament that gets close enough for you.  Normally
notated notes will then be Pythagorean.

Well, the way we did it was to retune the synthesiser fluidsynth using the 
tunings (?) command. It was a slightly different problem because we wanted 19-
ET rather than messing about with pythagorean adjustments, which might have to 
change every time you modulate anyway? We found that not many commercial 
synths obey the midi tuning protocol (in fact none of the ones we looked at).

Off topic, I'd be interested in why you want to teach singers to sing out of 
tune anyway :D (that was a troll :) )

Here's a video about the 19ET stuff...

Just click on the first thumbnail. Sorry about the flash. HTML5 hasn't reached 
a 
browser near me yet :)

Re: Just Intonation MIDI file

The MIDI command "pitch bend" allows to change intonation by intervals
smaller than a half tone. For instance, this is the way softwares like
Sibelius render micro-intervals.

Some MIDI devices use special tuning maps to reproduce different
temperaments (equal, Pythagore, etc.)

I guess it's a possible way to achieve such result.

Just Intonation MIDI file

2011-09-14 Thread dadadharma @dslextreme.com
This YouTube by Hajo (dl1sdz) claims to have generated a just
intonation MIDI file from a LilyPond file.

How does one do this?

I can find "just intonation" in the glossary but not in the rest of
the documentation.

I am interested in generating sound files for singing practice using
the simple Pythagorean ratios.


How can this be done?
