The arithmetic steps they used in working these out. That 1/3 comma is supposed to give pure minor 3rds. I can do it on a spread sheet, but the spread sheet (not me) uses advanced math. That a certain comma leads to 19 tone ET. Amazing that they arrived at this. Curious to know what their step by steps were. ---ric
