Couple more little points:

=20

1) If I remember right from my own student days (will they never end?), =
the
Potter stuff on this is either a little mixed up or at least very =
confusing
as presented.

=20

2) I'm attaching a longish article I posted here last year. Among other
things, it attempts to explain a lot of this in an orderly fashion and =
give
some tuning tips, as well. Nobody challenged what I wrote so either I =
got it
right or they didn't read it or they think I'm hopeless. Ha.

3) Nothing at all wrong with RCT as far as I've heard. But, seriously =
look
at the TuneLab -- you can download it and try it for free, no strings.

Hi List,

I am currently a student of the trade, and enjoy reading the information =
and
debates posted on this forum!! I have a question regarding Octave =
Partials,
and will try to keep this short I know that in a 4:2 octave, you tune =
the
4th partial of the lower note to the 2nd partial of the upper note as =
well
as with a 6:3 octave, and so on.  So my question is, for example when =
tuning
an F octave what is the distinction between 4:2, and say a 6:3 octave
tuning? I have searched the archives, and reviewed my potter course =
manual,
and still a little confused!  I plan on purchasing RCT in the next =
couple of
days, for my dell axim to assist in the progress of my aural tuning. =
Sorry
to post such a basic question, and hope no one gets to perturbed!!!

=20

Thanks in advance!!
