I played around with .scl tuning files in Garritan CFX lite and decided to edit the equal temperament scaling in Notepad. I was inspired by Andreas Werckmeister's advocating for equal temperament in his Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse (1707) which was J.S. Bach's basis for writing The Well-Tempered Clavier. I took a mathematical approach; starting from C I increased the tension of the thirds up the circle of fifths until F♯ and back again, like a palindrome. I intended the distance of the thirds, pure or impure, to be up to three cents. The thirds E♭-G and A-C♯ are equal. The decimal value for A♭ was a necessary compromise for A♭-C.
I also doubled the values (and thus the distances of the intervals) for performing Baroque music and made a version multiplying the distances by 4/3.
UPDATE: I edited all values to make B♯-D♯ and D♭-F flatter than F♯-A♯. Thus I changed all other values to maintain the palindromic distances of the thirds. There are no longer any equal thirds, but there are four equal fifths. I revised the scaling files in Pianoteq Standard.
