Ralph,
In my original post, that was what I had in mind: F-D approximately
equal to G-B, and also, as you mention, playing all four notes together
as a common 7th. But I also picked up on Newtons reply, i.e. the F-A 3rd
should be about 1 beat slower than the F-D sixth.

Thanks again to all for the input.
