Hi James,

Of course you do. That’s the thing about meantone and meantone like
temperaments - you need to adjust the bad notes to suit the key you are in.
I have always believed that in music form the period when tuning systems
like this were in use that this matter is why you find suites and sets of
pieces all in one key. Saves retuning for each piece - annoying to the
audience if nothing else.

Please forgive an amateur’s question. If you are playing in F minor, as I
am much of the time, don’t you need Ab rather than G#?
