student of

forum!!
I have a question regarding Octave Partials, and will try to keep this =
short I
know that in a 4:2 octave, you tune the 4th partial of the lower note to =
the
2nd partial of the upper note as well as with a 6:3 octave, and so =
on. So
my question is, for example when tuning an F octave what is the =
distinction between
4:2, and say a 6:3 octave tuning? I have searched the archives, and =
reviewed my
potter course manual, and still a little confused! I plan on =
purchasing
RCT in the next couple of days, for my dell axim to assist in the =
progress of
my aural tuning. Sorry to post such a basic question, and hope no one =
gets to
perturbed!!!</span></font></p>
