Hi list

After making the MIDIKeyboard the other day I started thinking about how to represent various microtuning systems graphically, but that's not easy. It's amazing how the visual structure of the keyboard is imprinted in one's consciousness.

I made various sketches, one of them being the typical grid. The grid is of course useful for many things, so I finished that idea and made a helpfile. The helpfile contains some sketches from the development of the class. I'd be interested in how other people suggest representing microtonality or polyrhythms, so all
comments would be of great interest.

Oh, and it's OS X only, sorry.

How is the SwingOSC doing now? Could this code be ported to SwingOSC
just by defining which GUI platform the code should run?

cheers

You might seek out a score by Julián Carrillo - El Preludio A Cristobal Colón - in 96 tones per octave. He wrote in a notation with one ledger line per octave that put note numbers 1-96 where the note heads should be. I used to have a xerox of it that I made from a score in the Univ of Texas Music Library - but I don't know where it is at the moment.
