Hi Les I just posted to CAUT last evening along these lines. The only way I can imagine to <<auralize>> an ETD tuning is to set it up so that it runs parallel to your aural tuning scheme. All but one ETD out there is a single partial reader, so that means you need some kind of partial switching button for looking at different coincidents in the temperament range. Otherwise you can fairly well stick to one partial and familiarize yourself with where the coincidents are aurally... and what their tuning relationships in either cents or bps works out to in theory. As stated on CAUT I use a tuning curve utilizing the 3rd partial and Pocket Tunelab (because it has a partial switching button). Cheers RicB If someone gets brave enough to produce a manual on TL with "tricks" as to how to modify programs to make tunings more "aural", I would request that such manual be accompanied with diagrams. There are many different learning styles, and learning from a manual which has no illustrations, and lacks very simplistic, detailed descriptions simply leave me unable to absorb things which to many seem very obvious. Though I finished a masters degree, I did so with great difficulty, not knowing till many years later that I somehow didn't absorb things in the "normal" way. I so wish it weren't true- but it is, so thought I'd offer that for any who provide documentation in any form. Thanks les bartlett
