Welcome to the Xenharmonic Wiki!
The xenharmonic wiki is an open source information on music tuning. This includes information about tuning systems, the relationships between these systems, and the theory and mathematics behind them.
This wiki is created by volunteers. It is work in progress and it is up to members of the community to help us develop it. Relevant new content is always welcome. You can master sandbox editing and then immerse yourself in it. Wiki Help also provides some tips. Wikifuture is a kind of wish list.
Please note that this wiki is ongoing! There are many new pages that need to be created and old pages that need to be completed or updated. If you see a way to improve something, register and help!
For a lengthier introduction, see Introduction.
