I could never understand those ratios. Why confuse the tuning with a lot of mathematical garbeldy gook. I concentrate on the intervals, and how they sound. If they don't sound right, I correct them. When it sounds right, I leave it alone. I don't go analyzing what kind of ratio it is. Even with the use of an SAT, which is built on the ratio thing, I try not to let that information creep into my tuning.
