<div>I pulled the pdf off, because it is outdated. One of these days (weeks? months?) I am planning to upgrade all the charts, add a special section on Bach and several other new temperaments, and make that all into a new pdf. I'll announce it here. </div> <div> </div> <div>Jason  </div> <div>On 4/20/07, John Dutton <<a href="mailto:duttonjw@gmail.com">duttonjw@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Jason's website is a great reference.  He also has a pdf version of the website (or used to anyway) for those that like the tactile sensation of reading paper.

Using the frame of reference of ET major thirds as 13.7 cents expanded: To arrange them from "closest to ET" to most extreme, the sequence would be: Coleman 10, (thirds ranging from 10.7 to 15.7 cents) Moore (9.7 to 15.7) Coleman 11 ( 7.7 to 17.7) Broadwood Best (6.7 to 17.7) === The Vallotti-Young group all have very similar extent of extremes, all reaching 21.5 cents, which is the largest "acceptable" major third in any well temperament. Young has a single most-contracted major third (C, 5.4 cents) and a single most-expanded major third (F#, 21.5 cents) and smoothly changes the sizes of the thirds around the circle of fifths; both the Vallotti and the Vallotti-Young have three equal smallest thirds ( 5.9) and three equal largest thirds (21.5), and adjust the intermediate thirds smoothly but in slightly larger steps than the Vallotti. === There are many WTs in between these two groups.
