This is an index page
This is simply an alphabetical list of the names of tunings, linking to the various pages in this Wiki on which tunings by that name appear. If a tuning is associated with a particular musician, then it is listed under their name as well as under any other name it has, both here and in the tunings pages. Musicians are indexed by surname.
There should be no actual tunings on this page. The tunings themselves are listed in the tunings hierarchy pages. See site structure.
Nor should there be external links. They also belong on other pages.
Instrument names are not normally listed here, see the instrument names index for those. Exceptions are when an instrument tuning is based on the standard tuning of another instrument, for example the decacorde tuning for the ten-string guitar. When in doubt, put it in.
Within an entry, tunings article names are alphabetical by page name.
It won't ever be a complete index. It should ideally show every named tuning that is in this wiki, and every name that is given here for them, and no more. Tunings we don't yet list won't be there. And there may be a backlog between adding a tuning and indexing it here. (You could help...)
Within the context of different instruments, the same name can mean a completely different tuning, or a closely related one, or anything in between. So this page isn't much use in categorising tunings. It's just here to help you find them.
Even within the same instrument, names are not always logical. For example, for the ten-string guitar, there's a baroque/romantic tuning known as F major tuning, and a Marlow system tuning known simply as F tuning. The list here reflects what they are called. We make no judgement on what they should be called, nor any attempt to make it more logical. That would defeat the whole purpose of this index, which is to allow someone who has heard of a tuning with a specific name to find it.
We leave the word tuning off the end of the tuning name, except where it looks silly without it, for example D major tuning but D tuning.
So just scroll down to the tuning name you want...
