Hi Mark, I'll take a stab at this... <snip> A3 / 4:2 Octave / +.33 / 100% which I think means that the interval A3 - A4 should be tuned as .33 beats/sec wide of a 4:2 octave. It doesn't say so explicitly (at least, I couldn't find it) but I assume the interval is with the note above if the stretch point is below A4 and with the note below if above A4. In other words, an A0 octave means A0-A1, but a C8 octave means C7-C8. Yes? <snip> Yes, although there are other intervals available, double octaves, triples and the octave 5th, depending on the tuning range that you can also bring into the mix. In fact, I feel that one of the great strengths of this machine is the ability to set up a custom style so that it sets the tuning based on more than one interval; have it balance between a 4:2 and a 6:3, for example. <snip> Also, what does it mean to have an A4 stretch point, since A4 isn't stretched? Manual says A3 and A4 stretch points are required and should be the same. Or is it just kind of redundant but has to be there... <snip> Think of it as bookends. The numbers are supposed to match because they are used to set the width of the temperament octave A3-A4. So even though A4 won't be moved, visually it gives you the location of where the tuning is coming from. I'm not sure exactly why Dave Carpenter set it up that way, you could post a question to the forum: www.veritune.com/forum I know Dave reads the questions there and that way, you'd get responses from other VT owners.
