	You can play around with tunings in Scale Workshop before you use them. Larger tunings are more difficult to work with. You might have read that some tuning system is optimal in some way; such claims mean very little and usually come attached to tuning systems that are too unwieldy (>24 notes) to start with. If you want to work within these tuning systems anyway, you might want to work with a small subset of the notes available (which is what most xenharmonic composers do)		You can play around with tunings in Scale Workshop before you use them.

			* Play in the [[SandBox]] to get the hang of editing.
			* As best as possible, adhere to [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Conventions]].
			* [[Help: Editing]] and [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Article guidelines]] provide some tips as well.
			* [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Wikifuture]] is a wish list of sorts.
