Hi Richard A very well written post with a point made several times through the years. I myself have advocated using interval types and their corresponding coincident partials as a basis for describing what one is talking about when discussing tuning issues. For example... its rather useless to tell someone I like my octaves a bit wide. What exactly does that say ? One persons wide is anothers narrow. If on the other hand you say I like to set my octaves in such and such a range somewhere between a pure 6:3 and a pure 4:2 then we have a basis for which to understand exactly what the you are describing. Cheers RicB
