==Welcome to the Xenharmonic Wiki!==
 
The xenharmonic wiki is an open resource for information about [[musical tuning]]. This includes information about systems of tuning, the relationships between those systems, and the theory and math behind them. 
 
This wiki is created by volunteers. It is a work in progress, and depends on members of the community to help us develop it. Relevant new content is always welcome. You can get the hang of editing in the [[SandBox]], then dive right in. [[wiki help|Wiki Help]] provides some tips as well. [[Wikifuture]] is a wish list of sorts.
 
'''Remember that this wiki is a work in progress!''' There are '''many''' new pages that need to be created, and old ones that need to be finished or updated. If you see a way to make something better, please feel free to sign up and help contribute!
 
For a lengthier introduction, see [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Introduction|Introduction]].
 
==If you are new to musical tuning==
 
* [[Why use alternative tunings?|Why use alternative tunings?]] is an overview of common reasons for learning about tunings other than standard western tuning.
* The [[Approaches to Musical Tuning]] page offers links to various theoretical approaches to exploring alternative intonation systems
* The [[Listen]] page links to lots of alternatively tuned music that has been made, in case you're wondering what it all sounds like.
* Links to xenharmonic websites: '''[[Links#Maps|Maps]]''' | '''[[Links#Forums|Forums]]''' | '''[[Links#Educational websites|Educational websites]]''' | '''[[Links#Selected microtonal labels and concert producers|Labels and concert producers]]'''
