While another thread going on right now makes such a point out of how precise the ET temperament is, I find it odd that then such a clear and precisely defined thing should be so darned difficult to simply measure instead of the present method for testing. I would think that HT's would in any case have to be analysed more from a measuring point of view. Shouldnt be too difficult really given todays technologies... We have beat rates specifications for just about any interval in any temperament.... and well..... 3 bps is three bps.... no matter how many RPTs are in aggreement or not about whether they sound good or not. :) -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
