[CAUT] HT Question

[Fred Sturm]

Hi Jeff,
     The abbreviation "mod."  means modified, not modern. In other  
words, you begin with a flavor of "regular" mean tone, then modify  
one or more notes. Common notes to modify would be those constituting  
the "wolf" P4/P5 (usually Eflat/G# or Aflat/C#) to make it less wild.

PS Anyone have word on how the project of porting Jorgenson's Tuning  
to CD is going?
