Hi all,
pretty embarassing, but I prepared a worksheet for students and accidentally (pun not intended…) messed with some accidentals of the built-in 12-EDO system. Any way to reset that?
Thanks,
Benji
I would have thought you could open any other project on your computer, open the “Edit Tonality System” panel and then click the Save as Default button in the bottom left. I don’t think that’ll fix your existing project, though.
Hey Leo,
It looks like that is indeed project-specific, in another project it’s fine. Is there a way to maybe delete some library/XML file or something that Dorico will then automatically recreate?
Thx!

Not as far as I can tell. The tonality information is stored within the project itself, within a file that can’t exactly be described as “human-readable”.
Your best bet is to dig out a backup from before you messed up the tonality system - copy and paste whatever from the new file into the old. Failing that, recreate the standard 12-EDO tonality system. It should look like this:
I concur with Pianoleo. There’s no reason not to edit 12-EDO, if you just want to add some custom key signatures or whatever.
Looking at Pianoleo’s attachment, it’s a bit odd that the “natural” is 0/24 divisions, not 0/12. 
I wonder if you can actually define quarter tones in 12-EDO if you want!
You can definitely have more than 12 divisions per octave - I tried. It sounded beautiful 
I know that, but it does say “Divisions per octave: 12” in big letters - so why the 24? (Rhetorical question, of course).
It would be fun to redo somebody’s investigation of 53-EDO tuning for Bach’s “48” one day. The original version was mocked up with MIDI pitch bend and the playback was somewhat fragile, but it sounded nice when it worked.
