	Wellwise was also a prolific composer and music theorist. As he was mainly a lutenist and fiddler, his speculations on the theory of music were based on traditional lute frettings at the time, which were described as "six points between strings, which are free to be moved", interpreted in many ways as 15, 16, or 17 divisions to the octave.

	His most prominent mathematico-musical feat was to compute a 17-tone equal division of the octave, using a Machin-like formula for log(2). He however advised that this be understood purely theoretically, and not be employed in actual musical performances. For performers, he suggested many different lute frettings based on ratios in the tradition of Hirom of Thymiaterium, as well as suggestions for more expressive intonation for bowed string players.		His most prominent mathematico-musical feat was to compute a 17-tone equal division of the octave, using a Machin-like formula for log(2). He however advised that while this addresses some key problems in harmony and counterpoint, it should be understood purely theoretically, and not be employed in actual musical performances. For performers, he suggested many different lute frettings based on ratios in the tradition of Hirom of Thymiaterium, as well as suggestions for more expressive intonation for bowed string players.
