[CAUT] HT Question

[Cy Shuster]

Start here (http://rollingball.com/TemperamentsFrames.htm), click on the 
"Meantone" bar at the bottom, and then take a look at the variations.  These 
are adaptable to any ETD.  He's got 1/5 and 1/7 comma (wouldn't you know 
it).  Is the 4/25 Marsh the closest to 1/6 Meantone?
