I am taking a fresh look at refining my temperment...(hey..sounds like an ad for Xanax!) Here is the question...Does anyone use a 'reverse', M3 / M6 check for checking the P4th width? 'Reverse', meaning, instead of, for example, C up to E(3rd) and C up to A(6th) to check and set the width of 'A' in the E -A P4th. Will this work going down? Checking the P4th width.... C down to G# (3rd) and C down to D#(6th) to check/set the D# width in the G# down to D# P4... The point is, this 3rd/6th test is useful, when 2 notes in a M3rd are known...as in any contiguous M3rd... Why not use the test backwards, going down? My question is...can this beat rate comparison be useful going in reverse? Going down, the M3rd is faster than the M6th...So, in setting the M6th, it would beat 'slightly' slower than the M3rd...
