Werckmeister - sources...[edit]

Hi - Where did you get the numerical values for the Werckmeister tunings? Unfortunately they are falsely reported in many 20th century sources which were written by people who did not respect the original text or could not interpret it. Particularly the 'IV' or 'septenarius' tunings which have, in fact, nothing at all to do with 1/7 fractions of a comma. What Werckmeister actually said was that the septenarius could be tuned without thinking about divisions of a comma, instead he used exact integer ratios! So any values based on fractions of a comma are total misrepresentations.

I would recommend to obtain a copy of the original text of 1691 and check carefully to see how historically accurate your sources are. Otherwise you run the risk of passing on a false text.

Also, what is the point of giving the cent values to 3 decimal places? No instrument, let alone an organ, could ever be tuned to such precision!!

Best, --Tdent 21:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Apus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Apus~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
