> Dear Richard,
Yesterday I tuned an "L" and used Jim Colemans stretch numbers for his "L"
and measured several intervals for several thirds and several 5ths for the
normal FAC and altered FAC.  I will send them this weekend when I can get
some free time.  I am interested in seeing the beat rates on the SS you
talk about. 
 This scientific research eats up tuning time!
