Beats per second is the difference of two frequencies. Thus 440 and 446 played together would give a beat of 6 per second. If you raised A 440 eight beats per second you would have A 448. If you want A 442, you only need to raise A 440 two beats per second. I may be corrected, but if you raise A 440 8 CENTS you would be close enough to A 442 to get paid. r(V) ---------- > From: Glenn <rockymtn@sprynet.com> > To: pianotech@ptg.org > Subject: Re: Pitch Anticipation > Date: Friday, November 27, 1998 12:48 PM > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Moody <remoody@easnet.net> > To: pianotech@ptg.org <pianotech@ptg.org> > Date: Thursday, November 26, 1998 11:43 PM > Subject: Re: Pitch Anticipation > > > >At A 440 six bps (beats per second) sharp of course would be 446. > > > Wouldn't six beats higher than A440 be 441.something?
