David: Minor terminology correction: beats happen between two different frequencies. A single pitch source vibrating at 523.3 cps is recognizable not by beats but in cycles per second and by some recognition capacity whether it's a relative source or "absolute' source. I'll leave it to the those who wish to be right to work that out.

This is basically incorrect. I defy anyone to tell that C-523.3 is beating at that rate. David Lawson OZ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
