Hi all

To Tom Sivak:  Not sure of your problems with RCT and the user temperament 
file, it shouldn't matter which octave you place the offsets.

I will say, that I ran into some problems graphing numbers once from Paul 
Bailey.... you see, for some reason we (the collective we) have fallen into 
the habit of listing offsets in chromatic order going up, writing on the 
page going down..... so down is up and up is down, while Paul has taken the 
step of matching down with down and up with up. So, transferring  numbers 
from the page to the spreadsheet (or tuning machine) means switching down 
with up .... or sideways,... or do I start with A......  well, you get the 
idea.  Go slow and check your work!

C 4.88
C# .98
D 1.95
D# 2.93
E -1
F  4.88
F# 0
G  3.9
G# 1.95
A 0
A# 3.9
B -1

Since the offsets are more positive than negative, this is a perfect one to 
skew the numbers, or balance the temperament, by subtracting 1.5 or 2 cents 
from each number, keeping all numbers closer to zero, if you don't need 
A=440
