Hi Orlando

As requested, here is the temperament (Young c.1800) in cents from C.  It is
very similar to the Vallotti tuning, but with the fifths FC and BF# reversed
(if I remember correctly!) In fact I believe some tuning machines (Korg?) have
the two as ths same.

C     0
C#    90.22
D     186.09
D#    294.14
E      392.18
F      498.04
F#     588.27
G      698.04
G#    792.18
A      894.14
A#    996.09
B      1090.22
C      1200


Kind regards
