Abstract
Several approaches to the design and use of alternativetuning systems (defined as systems other than 12-tone equal temperament)are described. Each of these tuning systems has been created inorder to preserve or extend qualities associated with tonal musics.This is by no means a comprehensive catalogue of such approaches,but rather a selection among those speculative theories that appearto offer greater potential as resources for a wide community ofcomposers. Atonal or purely timbral uses of alternative tuning systemsare not examined in this article nor are historical tunings or schemesfor retuning existing repertoire.
