"And thank you for MM !!!!!!"

"In the first, scratched-through text the problematic second syllable does look like u' = ver-, in the lower text it looks to me more like
"Vnūschaydenleich" which could be "unschaidenleich" with the initial syllable repeated. Grammatically, Marc's…"

"Merci! Moi non plus je ne vois pas de "T", mais il manque une lettre bleue. Et l'instrument nous offre un petit jeu etymologique: il a un visage barbu à droite (c'était peut-e.tre une après-pensée du dessinateur)... 'Barbiton' se trouve aussi,…"
"And here's a late 11th-century image in which Idithun's instrument has an interesting name: the reading "barbito" has been suggested at http://www.enluminures.culture.fr/documentation/enlumine/fr/ - Ausonius speaks of a musical instrument Barbiton.…"
"Aurélien: "cytharam in pectore""
"Apropos de "fibris"pour chordophones, j'ai regardé au TML, 6e-11e siècles, et n'y ai trouvé qu'une seule instance métaphorique. Aurelianus Reomensis fait comparaison du corps humain avec des instruments de musique: les fibres des poumons sont comme…"
"Perhaps the tails of "y" and "g" in your "Fibyig" are in brown ink, not ruber, and are folds in the musician's robe.
I was imagining "Fibris", but from the apparent biblical context I Paralipomenon 15,28/ 15,20 one might perhaps expect some form of…"

"Cher Christophe,
Merci pour la liste des autres possibilités pratiques pour altérer l'intonation!, je trouve surtout les deux premiers intéressant.
1. "agir avec le doigt sur le côté de la fenêtre du tuyau"

"Thank you very much for these observations Christophe, I will look up your iconographical references- can I ask if one can also alter the tuning of a pipe usefully simply by disturbing it on its base? This is what St. Cecilia might be doing in a…"
"The text is an integral part of the book layout (not marginalia) but as I say, I haven't seen it. Where datings of tuning schemes are concerned, they are so sparse in the 15th century that I feel as if I am moving in the dark. That is, I would doubt…"
"My description of pro clavichordys faciendis follows the analysis of Andreas Hermert (Berlin), who corrected the text after consulting the MS and very kindly shared his findings with me. The transcription (possibly from microfilm) by Rudolf Denk in…"
"Thank you. For clarity: The Erlangen clavichord mensuration pro clavichordys faciendis (the first of the 2 methods) tunes E as a pure third from C and H as a pure third from G, in the proportion 5:4. This is completely unambiguous in the text. …"
"Dear Nicolas,
Thanks for this also, I must look at Ṣafī al-Dīn al-Urmawī. I regard the slightly earlier Heilsbronn/Erlangen clavichord tunings (Erlangen UB 554, mid 15th-century) as evidence of just intonations, but I admit they are preceded in the…"

"Dear Nicolas,
Many thanks for your help, and helpful doubt. I know and admire Mark Lindley's observation of near-pure thirds over D, A, E in a Pythagorean tuning and their use in some music examples. I think he is still talking about a strict…"

"Can I ask whether you think that the dynamic possibilities could also be used to modulate pitch? I am interested in the possibility that early 15th-century organists used just intonations with occasional modifications that might be achieved by air…"
