octave widths

I'm not really looking for the partials of the notes, I am trying to =
determine the best octave for an individual piano.  If there is a lot of =
inharmonicity, sometimes a 4:2 is too wide for the 2:1.  If you know all =
of the partial values in cents, how would you determine octave widths =
that fit the best.=20

This is A2 , A3 and A4 from a Wurlitzer spinet, we know all of the =
information of the partials and can see how much stretch there needs to =
be.  Is there a way to determine the beat rate of any type of octave =
from these numbers.  Is a 6:3 too wide in the tenor, probably, can these =
numbers prove that.  If I tuned a 4:2 octave, what would the beat rate =
be of the 2:1.  It is not the octave type that I need but determining =
which one fits the best to give me fairly clean octaves.  I believe the =
RCT has some of those capabilities to combine beats and cents =
measurements into its calculations, but what is the best way to take =
cents measurements and determine beat values?
