The beat rate changes based upon the amount of inharmonicity.  You
want the 4:5 ratio and a good F3-F4 octave (actually all the octaves)
so start by changing the beat rate of F3 then C$ until you get both
4:5 and good octave.  Not hard, just time consuming but you will find
the rest works out well in all but the worst pianos.
