Hmmm..it is sometimes hard to get things in order. What I mean is that
the inharmonicity doesnt have as much to do with the temperament as
the temperament itself, in theory. Most of us use the equal
temperament and we normally stick to that within some reasonble limits
even if we deal with different kinds of instruments.

That was what it was about.
