>>Where doe someone find these offsets?<< 

I received the following, some time ago, from our West Coast tempering maven, 
who, I believe, got them from the "Tuning" list.  I have used this tuning for 
some of my hard core clients and they feel like it opens up another world of 
music for their pre-1800 repertoire.  Others have enjoyed it on their much 
less advanced repertoire,(you know, where they never get past three accidentals!)
