SAT question

[Richard Moody]

When figuring cents off-sets of HTs (from ET) you start from the note it was
historically started from.  This is usually middle C.   If however the
ensemble wants the A to be 440 or 442, how do you give the offsets to
acheive that on an ETD?

    I said to see how much A is off-set in the tempermant.  If it is say
10.26 cents flat, to set the "callibration" of A to 10.26 cents sharp of
440.   So if you want a to be 442 would you then set the machine to 442,
then add 10.26 cents to that?   Then go to C and use the
offsets that are commonly published?
