Greetings,

Paul Baily( or perhaps Jerome Kuderna, I am unclear on the authorship)
writes;

" I have played all of Mr. Sessions works using a
 modified mean -tone temperament and found to my delight that far
 from being inappropriate, the different sized thirds in fact clarified
 the hmarmonic structure and in general supported the musical content.

      I would like to ask what are the characteristics of this particular
mean-tone tuning?   i.e.,  what modifications are we talking about here?

 regards,
Ed Foote
