Okay, so zero is a valid
number in this assignment:
frequency = reference * 2 ^
(1/12) ^ 0
In that, 2 ^ (1/12) ^ 0 =
1, so a scalemapping of zero translates to the reference
frequency: reference over one, which, if your reference
frequency is 440Hz, 220Hz, 110Hz, or 55Hz, is a 12-TET Ay.
FracTint will use zeros if
you enter them manually. It will also save them. I won't
load them from parameter files. It should not be treated
as it is, though, because that means two Ays are possible
in a scalemapping: Zero and Twelve.
I've been using zero to
reprezent silence for over ten years. That's what M$
QBASIC does. It was a bit tricky to get a neat zero in my
synthesizer, when I decided that the PC speaker didn't
offer quite enough in the way of parallel harmonics and
neat sine waves.
If I want to change it, I
guess the easiest way is to read the code myself, splice
in a special case for zero, where all of the Cs, one of
which would normally be at about 65.4Hz, become silent:
compile it in, and offer it on the developers mailing list
when it works.
