Greetings, 
  Yes,  to change an ET into Coleman 11 alter the notes by the following 
amount:
A  = 0
A# = 3
B   = -2
C  =  4
C# =1
D  =1
D# = 1
E  =-2
F  =5
F# = -1
G  =3
G#= 1

  This tuning produces two thirds of 18 cents (F#-A# and Db-F), the tonic 
thirds for the keys of C ( 8 cents) , G, D, F and Bb are improved. The 
remainder of of the keys in the middle ground are so closely aligned that the 
new listener would be hardpressed to tell the difference between it and ET.  
Jim has a whole series of this style, gradually increasing the contrast 
between keys until his # 16, which is just one cent away from a Young of 
1799.  
     I can say this about this tuning,  about 50% of first time listeners 
don't notice it is a departure, but 100% of the pianists feel the difference 
immediately!  I use this tuning a lot,  and am really interested in how 
others feel about it, after they hear  it.
