Hi Andrew, I have numbers for a few of Jim Coleman's recipes, but Coleman 8 I don't have. Is there a source for all of them somewhere? I'd be surprised if your comp prof would notice Di Veroli's "almost equal" temperament. I wouldn't classify it as a WT. The maximum deviation from ET is just over 1 cent (supposedly 1.08 cents). For those who are interested, it is Di Veroli's creation, based on making AC# very slightly narrower than ET (by 0.35 bps), and making C#F and FA equal in width in bps. Then divide each major third into its component fifths (the fifths "within" each third being equal in size). A rather quirky recipe he first published in 1978. The M3s vary (theoretically) from 12.6 cents to 15.9 cents, in a WT style pattern (the maximum size M3 is C#E#, and the minimum size applies to CE, GB, DF# and AC#).
