Chapter 3. Changing Various Settings
Changing the Temperament
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal
temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a
variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the
chords that the composer originally intended.

Setting the Tonic
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament,
you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major
key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select
a tonic note.
