The roots of '''regular temperament theory''' ('''RTT''') can be traced back for centuries. The practice far predates the theory, and in particular [[meantone]] temperament has been known since the 15th century. Many early pioneers set the stage for the general theory to come: | The roots of '''regular temperament theory''' ('''RTT''') can be traced back for centuries.
