	Hmm that makes me feel I am more qualified in an area than an
esteemed master tuner we are honored to have on our list.  That is 
"novice" at WT.  What can be more of a novice, than one who has never
tried a WT.?  

`Thanks Paul for posting the "Rules". It is one more incentive (esp
to me) to buy his book.  However I am wondering if 
"Tuning The Historical Temperaments By Ear" by Owen Jorgensen is a
different work from  "Tuning" (by Jorgensen) listed as #572629 in the
American Piano Supply Co  (APSCO) catalog. 
What I am really wondering is,  are there "Instructions" as to how
tune WT?  
My novice, (some might argue tyro) understanding of temps other than
ET, the size of the intervals is dictated (for lack of a better word)
by where one starts. Usually  from  middle C  (older) or A above
middle C (modern).   Would WT also be thus affected? 
	
Now Jim mentioned  figuring it out by spread sheets.   They (mine)
can only give beats per second of intervals, or cents deviation  from
each note in ET.  I am willing to give it a try.
