Tuning
13th century
- A B C D E F G# A
- A B C# D E F# G# A
- A B C# D E F G A
The first scale uses a chain of fifths with sizes M-M-S-S-L-S-S (S = smaller fifth, L = larger fifth, M = near-just fifth)
The second scale uses a chain of fifths M-M-M-M-S-S-S.
The third scale is symmetric and uses a chain M-S-S-L-S-S-M.
A typical tuning is a subset of 29edo.
