Hi all To Tom Sivak: Not sure of your problems with RCT and the user temperament file, it shouldn't matter which octave you place the offsets. I will say, that I ran into some problems graphing numbers once from Paul Bailey.... you see, for some reason we (the collective we) have fallen into the habit of listing offsets in chromatic order going up, writing on the page going down..... so down is up and up is down, while Paul has taken the step of matching down with down and up with up. So, transferring numbers from the page to the spreadsheet (or tuning machine) means switching down with up .... or sideways,... or do I start with A...... well, you get the idea. Go slow and check your work!
