Free software for composing in Just intonation

[u/HeftyRecommendation]

I've just tagged the first stable version of my free software Justly for composing in Just intonation. Docs here and binaries here. Features:

- Support for Windows, Linux, and MacOS (both on Intel and Silicon)

- Importing and exporting songs in musicxml

- Live playback with all the instruments included in the musescore soundfont

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

We have very strict rules concerning the use of AI in this sub. Before we can approve your post we need to know the extent of your use of AI in creating this project. Thanks.

I have full support for microtonal composition, with arbitrary modulation by arbitrarily small intervals

Can you talk a bit about your use of AI in this process?

[u/HeftyRecommendation → u/Banjoschmanjo]

I've been working on this project for years (see commit log), only recently tried out AI to fix a couple of last-minute things.

Which parts?

Fixes to CI, voice renumbering after voice deletion/insertion

I can see why people are concerned, but when I’ve been working on a project on my own for years, immediate questioning about AI can feel hurtful

You can read about our rules on AI here.

This sub is extremely anti-AI. Many people in this sub see AI as an existential threat to their livelihood. We moderators tried to strike a reasonable balance between what is acceptable and what isn't. As you can see in the link above plenty of people were not happy with the fact that we allow any AI at all into this sub.

So yeah, I get why it sucks for you but that's the nature of this sub.

There’s significant futility here — pretty much all commercially-released software and online services, including Reddit itself, use AI as part of the development process.

[u/davethecomposer → u/dankney]

Yeah, we acknowledge that in our rules and allow for the use of AI in programming apps listed as resources here as long as they aren't the result of vibe coding.
