Orlando,

re: earlier message.  Try 196.09 for the major tone interval? which is 7.82
cents less than a 'just' one.  My notes for the scheme are a bit 'dog-eared'
now but I'm pretty sure the beat rates are correct.  

Was it you who requested info on Werckmeister iii? - I'll post them if you're
interested along with any of the following:

Quarter comma mean tone   
Fifth comma mean tone  (French 1666)
Silbermann sixth comma mean tone
Kirnberger ii (1779)
Kirnberger iii
Neidhardt i (1724)
J S Bach by Barnes (1979)
J S Bach by Kellner (1978)
English 'Ord' temp St Georges Chapel Windsor upto 1893
French 18c Temperament Ordinaire
18c Italian
Vallotti (Van Biezen)


Regards

Rob
