Hey all,
Since the subject of temperaments and tunings came up I just wanted to
mention that I'm such a passionate devotee of non-12-equal tunings and
microtonality, that I started an organization called UnTwelve (
www.untwelve.org), whose mission is to program and educate people on music
in various different tunings and temperaments.
You'll also be interested to know that I hacked on Aeolus 6 years or so ago
and added a custom Just Intonation scale using only the 3rd and 7th
harmonics. The results can be heard at:

Cheers,
Aaron.
