Historical temperaments

Revision as of 04:58, 15 April 2023 by BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs) (I noticed that “circulating temperament” and “well temperament” both linked to the same article, so I combined them into a single list item. I noticed there was a comment saying they are not the same thing, however they share one article, so I can’t honestly tell if they are the same thing or not. Every source I could find online claims they are the same thing, so I have treated them as such in this list. But if that’s wrong and they are not the same thing, feel free to separate them out again.)
