more on this temperament thing

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

HYello,

In French, Intonation is voicing for the piano guys, or "harmonisation".

Intonation is used too as term for temperament in the harpsichord word (and
other instruments...)

It is still used as meaning voicing for harpsichords, i just remeber - go
figure !
