One approach that interests me is to map an octave-repeating 12-tone JI scale to a keyboard. Of course, there are an infinite number of possible 12-tone JI scales. This page is my attempt to collect some. Please feel free to add more or make corrections as you discover them or invent them!

Original Wikitext content:

Just Intonation is an infinite universe. You can have a JI scale with two tones or a trillion. I ([[user:Andrew_Heathwaite|1280008569]]) have an interest in JI scales large & small. A just-intoned pentatonic can be very effective in th hands of a sensitive composer.

One approach that interests me is to map an octave-repeating 12-tone JI scale to a keyboard. Of course, there are an infinite number of possible 12-tone JI scales. This page is my attempt to collect some. Please feel free to add more or make corrections as you discover them or invent them!
