from there. Not being to experienced in HTs, doesn't the temperament go DOWN

from A440? (That is if you are using A440 as the pitch criteria, rather than

C.)

Any thoughts on this? >>

Temperaments don't "go" anywhere,  they describe an octave.  Many of them 
will require more notes be raised from their normal ET than flattened, but 
that is a minor detail when switching the milder temperaments around.
