Wikipedia:WikiProject Tunings, Temperaments, and Scales

Scope
This project will cover historical systems like Pythagorean tuning and meantone temperament, non-Western systems like pelog and slendro, and modern innovations like Harry Partch's 43-tone scale. The focus will be on microtonal and xenharmonic music; tunings such as New Standard Tuning for guitars that fall completely within 12-tone equal temperament don't belong to this project.

To do

 * Clean up articles in Category:Intervals


 * I think the pages for Myhill's property and Maximal Evenness should be merged (and to that should be added distributional evenness), but I don't know how to propose a merger. Can anybody help?  -CKL


 * Just put and  on the respective articles. It's also a good idea to explain why they should be merged on the talk page. —Keenan Pepper 23:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
