Original Wikitext content:
**WELCOME to the XENHARMONIC WIKI, an open resource for ANYone curious about ANY aspect of microtonal music, xenharmonic music, alternative tuning practices, et cetera.** This wiki is a repository for information about specific [[musical interval systems|tuning systems]], as well as the relations [[interscalar|between]] them and the theory behind them. It is added to by volunteers only when doing so is [[http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Radical_constructivism|useful]] to them. It is a //living wiki// by structure, meaning anyone can add a new page or add content to an existing page. Relevant new content is most welcome. Here is one person's attempt to answer the question, "[[Why microtonality?]]" In the [[introduction]] you will find the grossly incomplete FAQ. [[MicrotonalTheory|Microtonal Theory]] is a collection of inventions intended to shape understanding of tunings, with [[Mathematical Theory]] exploring areas not everyone will want or need to consider. A growing [[scaleindex|scale gallery]] is here as well. [[The Library]] is a collection of articles, books, and dissertations related to tuning theory. For all these new theories and scales, new [[notation]] is sometimes needed to write it down. Also helpful are [[microtonalListeningList|links to lots]] of microtonal music that has been made, in case you're wondering what it all sounds like. And on top of that, a section on the microtonal capabilities of various [[microtonalinstruments|instruments]] of (eventually) all sorts. Microtonality can be one of the most rewarding endeavors that a musician can embark on, though it can, at times, be challenging. Some ex-microtonalists have attempted to make the case that 12-EDO is enough, as is the case in this op-ed from an ex-microtonalist [[whynotmicrotonality|here]]. In contrast, a very short counterargument can be found [[whynotnotmicrotonality|here]]. If, despite these differences of opinion, you're intrigued that there lies an exciting new world to explore beyond the threshold, you're in the right place. So get going already!
