Interested in microtonal music? You need to know about the Xen Wiki

The Xenharmonic Wiki, or Xen Wiki, is the essential resource for microtonal musicians, theorists, and fans.

Acessible at https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page, the wiki contains information on every tuning imaginable. Not just the well-known ones like quarter tones (24edo), 31edo, and Bohlen-Pierce — but also much more esoteric ones like 35edo, nusecond temperament, arithmetic frequency divisions, and more — any tuning you can imagine, pretty much.

It has lists of music to listen to, lists of notes in cents to tune your instrument or DAW to, a list of useful microtonal software (https://en.xen.wiki/w/List_of_music_software) — and everything on there is under a creative commons license just like Wikipedia, which means you’re free to use any of the text or diagrams in your own work.

It’s a hugely underrated resource that deserves many more contributors and readers alike. Go check it out!
