Compared To Microtonality
While microtonal music usually involves a single fixed tuning that is something other than 12-tone equal temperament (12-tet), dynamic tuning involves a real-time change among two or more tunings of which one may be 12-tet. Further, Wikipedia's entry for microtonal music states that "the following systems are not microtonal: a diatonic scale in any meantone tuning...", whereas the syntonic temperament's tonally-valid tuning range includes all of the meantone tunings, facilitating the use of the diatonic scale (or any other) therein through its consistent fingering on an isomorphic keyboard.
Tuning invariance facilitates the exploration of static microtonal tunings, while dynamic tuning incorporates microtonality's static tunings into tuning continua along which tuning can be changed dynamically in real time.

“Even with limited intelligence, knowing oneself is not as difficult as some say, but to act according to what one has realized about oneself in real life is as difficult as practicing anything else, compared to theory.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
