Hello,

Again, I repeat that I believe it is not measurable with any cts
device.

It would be with a setup that could count beats.

And there are more than one kind of ET, depending of the principals
intervals) used for generation of the temperament & tuning.

Beside, I am opposed to modesty ;>) when it comes to tuning (I mean to
my modesty of course).

Regards.
