The Beauty of Just Intonation
Just intonation is where the notes on a scale harmonize perfectly (or in this case, almost perfectly) by being related to eachother by whole-number-fraction frequency ratios.
These notes here are tuned to the cent due to the fact you can only detune by cents and not frequency ratios here, meaning the exact tunings cannot be achieved fully here, but it's not much of a problem at all what with how close it really is.
Even intonation, the general standard intonation, does not harmonize perfectly, but it does allow easy transposition to all different keys on the scale. Just intonation restricts you from doing this without working to make a new set of notes for that note.
To tune each note, you must hold down the shift button while adjusting the detune slider. Afterward, if you hover your mouse cursor over the slider, it will show a numerical value of how many cents it has been detuned.
Compared to 12 tone equal temperament ionian major, in Just ionian major, the second note is 4 cents sharper, the third 14 cents flatter, the fourth 2 cents flatter, the fifth 2 cents sharper, the sixth 16 cents flatter, and the seventh 12 cents flatter. For a harmonic seventh partial from the root note, you tune a note 31 cents flatter.
