Historical Temperaments

[Pianosold@aol.com]

Hi Orlando

Re: D 186.09 cents(from C) in the Youngs temperament.  I think this is
correct?

The fifth G-D measures 698.04 cents, the same as C-G on my plan.
This makes it 3.92 cents smaller than a 'just' fifth (701.96 cents) which is a
sixth of the comma, and 1.96 cents smaller than an et fifth.

Hope this helps (and that I'm right!!)

Perhaps someone who's good at the maths could confirm?

Regards

Rob
