Julia, Have you heard of Owen Jorgensen's book called Tuning? It was out of print last I heard, but you might be able to find a copy in a larger library. The book will have aural tuning instructions for the Valotti temperament, as well as many other historical temperament. I have a copy, and can look up the approximate beat rates of the fourths if they are listed. I'd be glad to do that for you later on today if you can't find out what you are looking for. -- JF On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 7:33 AM, <KeyKat88 at aol.com> wrote: > Greetings Jason, > > How do I calculate what the 4ths beat at.
