I think what you want is frequencies for equally tempered notes, isn't
it?  Remember, it is the intervals that are tempered, not the notes.
The differences between 2 notes is what makes it a tempered interval or
not, so there will be different frequencies for C depending on which
interval you decide is not tempered.

For instance, a minor third from A4 to C5 untempered (pure 3rd tuning)
would create a very different pitch for the C compared to one that is
equally tempered.  You could calculate the pitches using simple ratios,
as long as you know the frequency of the starting interval.

So calculating all of the frequencies for "un tempered" notes is not
really possible - every note will have a huge variety of frequencies,
depending on which reference note you use to calculate the pitch.

If you meant un-stretched tuning frequencies, there are charts for this,
or the pitches can be calculated for an equal-tempered scale.

I need to know where to find the frequencies of untempered notes.  For
example, A=3D440 would be the same tempered or untempered.  C=3D523.5 =
would
be a tempered pitch.  What would it be if it were untempered.
Thanks for your help.
Joy!
