I misspoke myself. (I am at the point of the learning curve with the SAT that I am dangerous to myself and those around me !) What I should have used was the difference between A4 and A5, which is -1.4 cents and not +9. (9 is the reading for the note A5 and relates to the reading on A4 of 10.4 [Right?]) Life with the SAT was so simple before this thread was started 'just stop the lights'. Now because of this Math thread and posts by Jim C. Sr. and others I want to know Why?, How ?, and What If ? Darned BBD! Jim Bryant (FL), recovering aural tuner
