The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

Lou Harrison invented this term from a technique he applied first in the middle section of his piece "At The Tomb of Charles Ives"; Instead of working with a set of fixed pitches, his concept was instead to use a set of fixed intervals regardless where this lead one. David Doty realized a midi version of a Symphony in Free Style That Mr. Harrison wrote.

In adding freedom you may be sacrificing a 'safety' of familiarity, tonality, simplicity of materials, etc. It is a dangerous and rewarding world out there.

Toby Twining's //Chrysalid Requiem// makes local use of subharmonic, harmonic, 3s-and-7s, and other subsets of JI; however its large-scale modulations wander far and never return precisely to the 1/1 begun with.

Chuckk Hubbard's [[http://www.badmuthahubbard.com/rationaleinfo|Rationale]] is offered as a tool, with which Chuckk himself has composed several works.

Two pitch calculators which could also be helpful: [[http://jjicalc.sourceforge.net/|JJICalc]] and jim altieri's [[http://tweeg.net/software.html|interval calculator]].
