Punching 2 to the 1/12 power into my calculator, it gives me
1.05946285. How far does this number go on? Is it a number like Pi that
goes on and on? What sort of software will let me see how far it can go?
If I am doing harmony calculations, how far is it practical to go? What
is the norm? </span></font></p>
