Would it not be only the partials that are addressed in the "style" =
data? Let's say in a case where you wanted a clean (beatless) 4:2 octave =
and you specified no other partial relationships, the spinner presumably =
would stop when this condition was met. Now maybe if further up the =
scale you had specified a 2:1 octave, then of course I should think that =
the spinner was based on a compromise between these two relationships. =
But we are only talking about two different partials for targeting the =
pitch of this one note. I would think that the VT, for that note, would =
only be considering the two partials. Of course, in better "styles", =
such as the wonderful one I have been using that was authored by you =
(THANKS!!!!!), there are at least six or eight partials that the "style" =
forces the VT to consider and make a compromise among those to determine =
the target pitch for that note.

So I guess that's my question. Isn't it the "style" thingee that =
dictates which partials are incorporated to calculating target pitch?
