But when you are tuning a temperament, and wanting it to "sound good," you're going to be listening to beats. There is no other way it can be done. It's the beats between two notes, or even between three notes of a chord, that will tell you if it "sounds good." Now, whether that will pass the test or not depends on your definition of what "sounds good" Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
