For all those who have been patiently waiting for the results of
Project Template, the new version of the TuneLab program is now
available at http://www.wwnet.net/~rscott

Based partly on the extrapolation of the inharmonicity measurements
that some of you folks made, together with some basic theory on
scale design, an improved tuning curve generator has been added
to TuneLab.  It is such a significant advance that it is called
version 3.0.  In the graphical tuning editor, press the 'T' button
(for Template) and see what I mean.

Also fixed in this version is a bug that occasionally caused the
graphics to change color and eventually stop working when a long 
time was spent in the graphical editor.  Now you can can edit 
tuning curves all day long if you like without any ill effects.

And if you have ever programmed in a cents offset without realizing
it, that mistake will be harder to make now.  Whenever the offset
is non-zero, the offset display is highlighted to remind you that
an offset is in effect.

And you can keep A4 = 0 cents in the graphical tuning editor
automatically without having to manually shift the curve.

Finally, the 59 historical temperaments from Jorgensen are
now part of the standard installation (instead of making
them a separate download).

Inharmonicity measurements are more reliable than in the past and
TuneLab is now better at hearing weak partials.  When you measure
inharmonicity, you will get more good readings.

And best of all, the program is still shareware, so you can try
it without risk.

Thanks to those who sent me their inharmonicity measurements and
checkout out the beta test version of this program.

Sincerely,
Robert Scott
