Something beyond the simple SW Ratio value >(number) I agree fully. Now that David has provided us with a comprehensive language for describing the arrangement of weight and leverage, we have standard descriptions which can be correlated to the subjective descriptions of pianists. >Well... its just that recent realizations have shown me that the SW Ratio is a >different puppy then other ratio measureing conventions, in as much >as it yeilds a >different value. I'm well aware of your explorations on this matter, and very much in favor of such the Grand Unification you seek. For the time being, although David's weight-based leverage measurements may not be toeing the line with all the other puppies at obedience school (and may have a few more fleas), when it comes to setting up an action, I'll stick with a weight-based puppy. >That being said... if you LIKE being slapped... hehe..
