Jim of course will tell us. But what he's is describing is a way "to
balance out the octaves on a piano according to the needs of the
piano and one's personal preferences." It actually sounds more
geometric than algebraic, in the way balances are "balanced" on each
other. So I'd guess it would be a tuning of the octave relationships,
laid out by a template and based on proportions rather than numerical
values. Which is to say that the owners of the common ETDs should be
able to do this customize calculation of octave stretch. This is what
we really want to do with ETDs, instead of simply executing a set of
numbers handed to us without documentation by a "black box". It
would surprise me if his description couldn't also
be translated into aural tuning.
