'C' fork users only (inferior 'A' fork users need not apply)

Brian,

   Good to hear from you. If any of the following seems inanely obvious,
forgive me. It is necessary for clairification only.
     I think many west side pond dwellers generally use the third - sixth
test to determin the width of a perfect forth, in the following way.
    Lets say we want to see the relative width of C up to F.  In this
example, one of the notes must be accepted as correct. In this case, since
we are using a 'C' temperment,  let that fixed note be 'C', and we are
looking to stretch the F. By going down a Mj. 3rd. from the 'C', to A flat,
we now have the 3rd. & 6th... A-flat to C, (Mj.3rd) and A flat to F(Mj.6th.)
    If they beat the same, the interval is "perfect", which would of course
not work for ET. A little nudge on the F, will bring an beat speed change ,
not as easily noticable when using 'only' the stright 4th.


   Are you using the the 3 rd. 6 th. test to set a forth, that is the G up
to C, ofr for another interval width check?
    Is setting the relative speed of C up to E, which is the first interval
in Barries pattern, later modified when G is introduced?
