EBVT offsets - another try

Thanks Bill, for the recent posting about one of your latest tunings.

I ran the numbers, had to adjust the master tuning to reflect what a linear 
tuning machine might calculate.  Also, this was a tuning on the same model 
instrument, not the same exact instrument. (yup, there's some disclaimers 
here!)  This one looks a little different than what's been posted in the 
past, with major thirds ranging from 9.6 - 17.5 cents from pure.  E and Eb 
have the widest thirds, though on the beat speed graph the effect isn't so 
obvious.  The maximum offset is 4.1, though this could be balanced a little, 
if you don't mind having the A's a cent or two off from 440.  So give it a 
try, calculate a tuning and try these offsets and hear what the result is.

C   3.2
C#   .7
D   1.2
D#  1.6
E   -.9
F   2
F#  -.7
G   4.1
G#  2.9
A   0
A#  1.1
B   1.6
