Lucy Tuning 1.0a1

LucyTuning is a musical microtuning system derived from Pi and the writings of John "Longitude" Harrison. This system enables users to modulate and transpose using any scales or keys that they may choose.Beyond the scales, tunings and modes of Western music (Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, or Locrian...), with LucyTuning, it is possible to emulate Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian, Arabic (makam) and any conceivable tuning system.Western harmonic structure may be used with this very specific meantone tuning system. This enables users to progress beyond the limitations of twelve note equal temperament (12tET), and produce music with controlled and predetermined levels of consonance or dissonance.It seems that the traditional scientific mapping of harmonics may be a simplistic paradigm of a more profound and fundamental underlying reality. Instead of considering audio as a static two dimensional mapping (e.g. sine wave), there appears to be a dynamic pattern which could consist of more dimensions than are revealed by the standard physics and mathematics of acoustics. Lucy Tuning gives insight to this topology and structure.
