I = also found that different treble octave settings could change the target = frequencies in the temperament by around a cent (even after readjusting = the deviation curve).

In doing this, we are using the ETD as the final judge, the standard = if you will. Yet for the RPT exam, the standard is set aurally. So, it seems to me, that when you are "off" by a few 10ths of a cent = (or even more) you may actually be "on" to a better placement of that = note than the machine has calculated. I'd be interested in others' comments, including those of you who are = examiners. And -- related -- how far different can an ETD calculated = tuning be from a good aurally done exam tuning in your experience.
