The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.<br>

This wiki is a repository for information about specific [[musical interval systems|tuning systems]], as well as the relations [[interscalar|between]] them and the theory behind them. It is added to by volunteers only when doing so is [[http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Radical_constructivism|useful]] to them. It is a //living wiki// by structure, meaning anyone can add a new page or add content to an existing page. Relevant new content is most welcome.
 
Here is one person's attempt to answer the question, "[[Why microtonality?]]" In the [[introduction]] you will find the grossly incomplete FAQ. [[MicrotonalTheory|Microtonal Theory]] is a collection of inventions intended to shape understanding of tunings, with [[Mathematical Theory]] exploring areas not everyone will want or need to consider. A growing [[scaleindex|scale gallery]] is here as well. [[The Library]] is a collection of articles, books, and dissertations related to tuning theory.
 
For all these new theories and scales, new [[notation]] is sometimes needed to write it down. Also helpful are [[microtonalListeningList|links to lots]] of microtonal music that has been made, in case you're wondering what it all sounds like.
 
And on top of that, a section on the microtonal capabilities of various [[microtonalinstruments|instruments]] of (eventually) all sorts.
 
Microtonality can be one of the most rewarding endeavors that a musician can embark on, though it can, at times, be challenging. Some ex-microtonalists have attempted to make the case that 12-EDO is enough, as is the case in this op-ed from an ex-microtonalist [[xenharmonic/Why not microtonality|here]]. You will surely meet others with similar opinions in your journey. However, if even in the face of such opinions, you're still convinced that there lies an exciting new world to explore beyond the threshold, you're in the right place. So get going already!
