[This whole section needs consideration with regard to what should be moved to the [[User:Mousemambo/Tuning methods#Tuning files|Tuning methods]] article, what belongs in the [[User:Mousemambo/Scala tuning system|Scala tuning system]] article, or perhaps is best rendered in duplicate for reading simplicity. The complexity of the relationship between the scale file's base note, the tuning's tuning center, and the music's tonic if it has one is a very complex topic for a beginner and this doesn't seem to be the right place to explain it. That explanation probably belongs in [[User:Mousemambo/Tuning methods#Tuning files|Tuning methods]].]
