Well it must be magic...

Let's follow the <thin> clues we have so far. 1. Stopper has stated that his tuning is NOT a P-12ths tuning. 2. I've experimented with P-12ths tunings, they don't seem appropriate for many types of pianos. 3. Kent stated that he's tried the OnlyPure on many types of pianos and the tuning "worked" for all of them. 4. Stopper's definition of "pure" is not the same as the traditional tuner's nomenclature of a partial match. (something about where the sum of beats of all relevant partial matches of octave and octave-fifth are at a minimum...) So where does that lead? Not to a simple Tunelab curve. It's an interesting puzzle. Especially since Stopper seems to discount inharmonicity - the software seems to work without any measurements from the piano to customize the tuning.
