If you have accomplished this, then, yes, you've accounted for inharmonicity, but some sequences - a circle of fourths, for instance - don't do a very good job of providing you with sufficient information. What specific tests tell the tuner that his first attempt at setting an F-A third at 7 beats per second, for example, need to be modified? Carl Root, RPT Rockville, MD
