I am looking for the frequencies of a Pythagorean tuning, although I see = what you are talking about when you state that it depends on what note/fr= equency I want to start. What I was wanting to do was compare untempered= note frequencies to tempered note frequencies. Does that make sense? I= kinda feel like the little boy who was in Military School, and his mothe= r was bragging to her friends that of 1000 cadettes, he was the only one = in step! Oh well, sometimes it rains all week. Have a great one. Joy!

Remember, it is the intervals that are tempered, not the notes. The= differences between 2 notes is what makes it a tempered interval or not,= so there will be different frequencies for C depending on which interval= you decide is not tempered. For instance, a minor third from A4 to C5 untempered (pure 3rd tuning) = would create a very different pitch for the C compared to one that is equ= ally tempered. You could calculate the pitches using simple ratios, as l= ong as you know the frequency of the starting interval. So calculating all of the frequencies for "un tempered" notes is not re= ally possible - every note will have a huge variety of frequencies, depen= ding on which reference note you use to calculate the pitch. If you meant un-stretched tuning frequencies, there are charts for this= , or the pitches can be calculated for an equal-tempered scale.
