Recently there was a post which contained an offset chart for Robert Wendell's "Lite" Victorian Well-Temperament. I reproduce it below: C= +4.88 B+ -1.0 A#= +3.9 A= 0 G# = +3.9 F# + 0.0 F = +4.88 E + -1.0 D# = +2.93 D = + 1.95 C# = =0.98 This offset chart started at "C" and descends chromatically. Usually, these charts ascend chromatically, and I have always assumed that "C" is "C4", and ascends through "B4". Am I to assume that in this case, "C" refers to "C5"? And "C#" refers to "C#4"? I tried entering it both ways, i.e, "C" being "C4", and also as "C5" and I got completely different values in RCT. Therefore it seems to me that it matters greatly as to which octave these offset values are intended. I would like to try this temperament, but since I have two of them listed in my HT file, I'm not sure which one would be the one Robert Wendell intended. Tom Sivak
