Hi Martin, To understand that think about the ratio of an Octave. It is 2:1. This means there can be many sets of coincident partials at multiples of the ratio. 2:1 ; 4:2 ; 6:3 etc f3 to f4 at 2:1 beating will be at f4 (usually the narrowest possible octave) f3 to f4 at 4:2 beating will be at f5 (a little wider) f3 to f4 at 6:3 beating will be at c6 (still wider) Each of these octaves under normal circumstances is a little wider, than the one of the lower coincident partial.
