Also, how does termination shape (generally) correlate to inharmonicity? I don't have access to the article and I'm curious. BTW, from a scaling point of view, the inharmonicity formula just gives you a visual means of smoothing the plotted curve at scale discontinuities, like speaking length progression changes at plate struts, bass/tenor break, plain/single wound, and single/double wound. It isn't really necessary that it be all that accurate unless you are using it to compute tunings or arguing minutiae. Ron N
