More than 1600 diagrams , 175 tunings !

(Pinned post ) IMPORTANT :

For those of you who are familiar with cent values in several temperaments, please use the diagram called «Minor cent» in the beginning.

Here you will find cent values for fifths, major thirds and minor thirds within the same graph.

The red vectors is deviation from pure major third and blue vectors for minor third.

In the other diagrams I am using TU, but simply divide values by 30 to get a precise enough cent value.

Pythagorean comma = 23.46 cents = 720 TU

Syntonic comma = 21.51 cents = 660 TU.

(These numbers are easy to divide in 2,3,4,5,6...)

.................
The easiest way to get an overview of historical and newer tunings ! Read the Introduction (1) carefully and the diagrams will tell you much more than all the cent tables on the web.
Many of those who have found the key to the diagrams use this webside a lot.

Before I present a new page on this blog that is adapted to a very good and practical tuning website (HPSCHD.nu) I will shortly give this describtion of my website to new readers.
http://thegraphicalguidetotunings.blogspot.no/
This is a blog with a new way to visualize tunings. 
The blog contains more than 150 tunings and each have several diagrams.
The diagrams are using Temperament Units . 
They are sorted both in alphabetical and Standard Deviation order.
It also contains an educational introduction to the diagrams and the problems of tuning with a combination of text/graph/audio (Introduction I and II)
I recommend to read the Introduction I or Quick Start first.
..........
To make this blog as practical as possible, I have made diagrams for (nearly) all the temperaments on hpschd.nu, (27 tunings ). Using these diagrams you can more easily choose those you will learn to tune by ear.
On hpschd you will find a simple circle of fifths showing the structure of each temperaments. If you are adding them you will always get -1 (The pythagorean comma)
But the author has not made any distinction between syntonic and pythagorean comma.
This makes generally no difference in practical terms, but it can be more confusing if you try to understand it a little more theoretical, because it is not mathematical correct.
Thus, I had to make some choices here and there so the diagrams became accurate.
If you are adding the fifths in the diagrams you will always get – 720 TU ( instead of -1 PC in a circle of fifths)
and a fifth 1/5 PC will be -144 TU (as an example)
From HPSCHD: «There are other commas to learn, and a whole load of other technical guff if you really want to get into this quagmire, but here you will forgive me if we regard the syntonic comma as for all practical purposes the same size as the Pythagorean. After all, don’t you just want to tune your harpsichord instead of go for a science degree? «

My goal is that these graphs will make it possible to understand a little more and get an overview of the different temperaments without "go for a science degree."
In any case these pages of the blog are now completely customized HPSCHD.
HPSCHD is a comprehensive and very good website for beginners and intermediates harpsichord tuners.
I have a page alphabetically page of the different tunings form hpschd with links to this website.

that is grouped by type(Meantones, Modified Meantones, Circulating) and extremity : Standard Deviation .

Hope you can benefit from this !
