== A brief history == | |||
'''Regular Temperament Theory''' — or '''RTT''' — is a relatively new field, with a significant amount of its early development occurring online via the [[Wikipedia: Yahoo! Groups]] service. The groundwork was laid by [[Paul Erlich]], [[Graham Breed]], [[Dave Keenan]], and [[Herman Miller]] in the late 1990's. | |||
In 2001 [[Gene Ward Smith]] joined Yahoo! Groups and immediately began making major contributions to the conversation, introducing new terminology and higher-level math. He and his closer collaborators such as [[Mike Battaglia]] also did much of the work to document RTT on this wiki. | |||
In 2009 [[Kite Giedraitis]] began developing his own approach to RTT, including some noteworthy innovations. | |||
