<DIV><FONT size=2>I was referring more to WT's that differentiate =

between the keys at the all naturals end of the circle and the all =
sharps or
flats at the other end of the circle. I have not yet set up a =
piano with
your temperament. It appears as though it must be done aurally =
from the
last thread and I need to review the archives for the system. =
But as
I mentioned in a previous post I am interested to hear it. I have =
also not
yet listened to the Marpurg but I will check it out.</FONT></DIV>
