Strictly speaking, the "well-tempered" scale is one that's not an exact
chromatic octave in any key, but "close enough" in _every_ key to get away
with it.

Err... the octaves in a well-tempred scale *are* exact, it's the other
intervals that are approximations.


OK, I misspoke. The _octave_ is a perfect octave, as you say, and it's the
other notes - maybe I should have said, "chromatic scale" instead of
"octave".

Thanks,
