F3.Scale (Temperament selection)
This function selects the tuning system, or tem-

The equal temperament now standard on present-
day pianos was preceded by a series of other
temperaments. These various temperaments had
an important influence on music composition and
instrument development in their day. Selecting
one of these other temperaments allows you to

pieces.
