<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been using a verituner, and =
sometimes
struggle with octave widths. I am trying to use the partial list =
that the
machine gives me to determine the best octave widths. What are the =
mathematical principles I need to calculate the widths. I have a =
list of
all 8 partials, how would I determine from those numbers what the width =
of a 2:1
octave would be if I tuned to the 4:2 numbers, or 6:3. Looking at =
the
numbers can I determine what the best stretch for any individual piano =
from
these numbers? I guess I am trying to get beat speeds from cents
measurements and understanding their relationship quickly before each
tuning.</FONT></DIV>
