"0" indicates no transposition. Value: 0 Value: -5 ­ 15 ­ The piano can be transposed up to 12 half steps higher or 12 half steps lower.

Pythagorean PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines. Meantone MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament. ­ 26 ­ Werckmeister Kirnberger WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT, KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
