Pitch

To define the frequencies that correspond to each level of the staff, go to the Pitch tab

The Scale Box

The Number of Pitches determine how many pitch levels will be defined in the tuning (1). To specify how the scale will be placed on the staff, use the Scale starts on level box. (2). For a staff with a treble clef in the standard posi<on, the lowermost staff line corresponds to level zero. Consequently, Middle C in 12-­‐TET would correspond to level 2.

Using the value in Octave Ratio, you can specify how the pitch values will be altered when repeated upwards and downwards (3).

The Transpoze All Box

To transpose all of the pitch values, enter a value in cents (4) or Holdrian commas (5)  in the Transpose All box and click Transpose. In the table below, you can find the transpose values in cents of the tunings used in Turkish music in the table below.

Frequencies Box

The pitches defined in the selected tuning are shown on an expanded staff with a standard treble clef. To edit the frequency of a pitch, select it on the staff and enter a new frequency value in Hertz in the Frequency box (6).

To specify a pitch as a ratio relative to the first pitch in the scale, enter it as a fraction in the a/b format in the As a Fraction (7) box and click Calculate. To specify the pitch in cents relative to the first pitch, enter a value in the In Cents box (8) and click Calculate.

Tunings Used in Turkish Music and Transpose Values in Mus2

Table 1 shows the new names, range names, cent values and applied difference values in cents of the harmonies in the menu opened with the Copy button. Mus2 uses Mansur Nıfiye for its vocalization and therefore the difference value in the table is zero.
