Hair, G. and Pearson, I. E. and Morrison, A. and Bailey, N. and McGilvray, D. and Parncutt, R. (2007) The Rosegarden codicil: rehearsing music in nineteen-tone equal temperament. Scottish Music Review, 1 pp. 99-126. ISSN 1755-4934 (online)

Abstract

The subject of this paper is microtonal tuning and a project which has developed several technologically-assisted methods of rehearsing live performance of music based on one particular microtonal scale: 19-tone equal temperament. The open-source Rosegarden sequencer is enhanced with performance metrical capabilities which are designed to be able to cope with pitch classes of arbitrary scales. A rehearsal session and performance of three original one-minute songs written in 19-ET was incorporated in the demonstration.
