|
|
<param name="descr" type="description">Methods:
|
|
12th Root of 2 - 'preferred' method for even temperment scales.
|
|
Note: 12th Root of 2 and the 17.817 give identical results.
|
|
17.835 is similar (unrounded calculation) to 17.817, and has max 0.2mm difference in a 24 inch scale.
|
|
|
|
Markers:
|
|
Fret markers are located at different positions based on instrument tuning. (Double entry draws two markers)
|
|
E.g. for Ukulele these are common variants:
|
|
[3,5,7,10,12,12] (17 frets),
|
|
[3,5,7,7,10], [5,7,10], [5,7,12]
|
|
[5,7,10,12,15] (19 frets)
|
|
|
|
Nut Compensation:
|
|
Moves the Nut forward a small amount, so that fret1 can have better intonation if Nut shape tuned per string.
|
|
|
|
Scala filenames:
|
|
Are in the scala subdirectory of inkscape extensions. More(>4000) at www.huygens-fokker.org/scala
|
|
|
|
Neck Curvature Ruler:
|
|
Necks can have one radius (e.g. 7.25) at the nut and a wider radius (e.g. 12) at the body.
|
|
This called a Conical radius (incorrectly a compound radius). It enables easier single string control at the Nut and chords nearer the body.
