[CAUT] Unequal temperament

[rwest1 at unl.edu]

Ron,

I did get numbers on this temperament (see attachment).  I have mixed  
feelings about numbers.  Numbers are fine as far as they go.  I also  
like to know what I'm shooting for aurally.  I like to know how pure  
the the F/A, B flat/D, C/E and G/B major thirds are and also have an  
idea of how wild the fourths get.

Richard
