'SONGS': anything unashamed to call itself a 'song' is welcome. Some suggestions: art songs; madrigals; ballads; rounds (naïve and/or virtuosic); canons; "children's music"; singalongs; campfire songs; musical games; pedagogical ditties and mnemonic devices; spirituals from another planet. The line between 'professional' and 'amateur' is blurred. | 'SONGS': anything unashamed to call itself a 'song' is welcome.

PIANOS: the Seventeen Tone Pianos are two pianos tuned to overlapping 12-out-of-17-EDO scales. Following the circle-of-fifths naming system for 17, the white keys of both pianos are tuned identically, to the (notated) C major scale (C D E F G A B). The piano called "flat" has black keys tuned to (Db Eb Gb Ab Bb); the one called "sharp" has (C# D# F# G# A#). Remember, C# is HIGHER than Db! In scores with separate staves for each piano, it is not necessary to spell chords with these distinctions; notating intervals in their most common appearance is recommended for quick readability, e.g. Eb-C in the sharp piano part, rather than D#-C.</pre></div> | PIANOS: the Seventeen Tone Pianos are two pianos tuned to overlapping 12-out-of-17-EDO scales.
