Hello Alan Forsyth
Your table and jpegs are of great interest. At risk as I may be for
asking... How did you derive the figures in  TABLE 1 ?  Application of that
"small formula" to H#1 for the +1 semitone does not give 466 derived from
441, but 467.225... Yet application of (f) on 440 gives 466.163...(etc)
which is closer to your figure. Going in a downward direction (pitch-wise)
the figures you give in the table are even wilder, aren't they! Did you have
a frequency meter and read these partials direct? surely so - they couldn't
have been computed... could they ?? :-)
Regards
