While this may work well in practice, it might be a tad zippy for the RPT test. Maybe that's one problem with the set up of the test. It doesn't tolerate different tuning styles that well. The tolerances in the temperament octave are fairly small and a 2bps fourth may be pushing the envelope.

Zippy is a good word, Alan....you win a fabulous parting gift....<g> David Andersen Richpeoplesville, California _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
