Richard,

Working through a temperament/stretch can be very complicated; whatever
method you choose, you need to properly represent the varying amounts of
inharmonicity. I used 5 different inharmonicity readings from my piano to
generate inharmonicity constants for the rest of the piano. With the
inharmonicity constants, I constructed all of the overtones based on a
theoretically correct equally temperament (2^(1/12)). Next, I readjusted the
D3-A4 temperament based on B/A^(1/19), and then tuned the remaining 3:1
12ths pure.

Because we know all the frequencies, determining beatrates are very easy,
but there are a lot of numbers!
