about 1/2
beat narrow D4-A4 fifth and likewise with about a 1/2 beat wide D3-D4 =
octave, if
you tuned D3 to A4 absolutely beatless (at A5) you would have two notes =
(in a
two octave temperament) that were dead-on and accounting for =
inharminicity

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=000552602-05042005>Then, tuning A3 =
to A4, and
D4 to D3 while checking the fourths and fifths created among those four =
notes
you'd be pretty confident you had four solidly and rather easily placed
notes.<SPAN class=906082102-06042005> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT><SPAN class=000552602-05042005>Now, find =
me a
similar exercise for nailing down F3 or F4 (NOT estimating beat rates) =
and I'd
be one excited camper, because after that a two octave temperament =
(C3-B4 for
the RPT tuning test) would be pretty easy.<SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT><SPAN class=000552602-05042005>I know =
I'm trying to
reinvent the wheel, but this business of esti-placing F3, D3, and A#3 =
without
REALLY knowing their best placement kinda bugs me. At least with D4 you =
have
4ths and 5ths to listen to, but dang it if the whole structure doesn't =
depend
too much on getting the "right" width for the A3-A4 octave and then =
floating in
that F3...<SPAN
