In this case, the two fundamentals are much larger in amplitude in relation to the overtones. Stepwise movement can be measured by taking note of each frequency. The G# - A is 1.065, a very small halfstep in relation to the just m2(1.14), and slightly larger than the EQT m2(1.059). But remember that the placement of both G# and A are in relation to the sounding B.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bradley</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
