Andrew, Regarding the “Almost Equal” temperament in the Verituner Well Temperament folder, I first encountered it when I was researching temperaments for the Unequal Temperament chapter in the User Guide. Paul Bailey gave me the offsets and the name “Di Veroli Almost Equal”. As the name indicates, it was designed by Claudio di Veroli. Claudio contributed much in my research, and when I told him I was going to ask Dave Carpenter to include it in the Verituner’s pre-installed temperaments, he suggested I drop his name, as he felt it was more representative of a number of approximations of ET than it was anything uniquely original to him. Hence, it is simply named “Almost Equal”. It is the second mildest of all of the 46 Well temperaments in the Verituner with Major 3rds ranging from 12.6 to 15.9 cents. If you want to share this on CAUT, here are the offsets: A: 0.00 A#: 0.55 B: -0.55 C: 0.82 C#: -1.09 D: 0.27 D#: 0.00 E: -0.27 F: 1.09 F#: -0.82 G: 0.55 G#: -0.55 (I would post this but I’m not subscribed to the list.)
