This started from an offhand comment I made in this thread [1] a few weeks ago. I was interested in making the intuition rigorous, and the result was satisfying and agreed with my experiments. Hope y'all enjoy!
Thanks! Yeah, microtonal stuff is very interesting. I was surprised by the total amount of pitch bending you can feasibly get with a guitar and just changing the dynamics. I think the max was about a half tone, which is definitely a “macrotonal” shift.

I'd just say I'm playing microtonal music[1][2] and not worry about it.
Jokes aside, great read. Always so satisfying when the predictions match experiment.
