I have been using a verituner, and sometimes struggle with octave =
widths.  I am trying to use the partial list that the machine gives me =
to determine the best octave widths.  What are the mathematical =
principles I need to calculate the widths.  I have a list of all 8 =
partials, how would I determine from those numbers what the width of a =
2:1 octave would be if I tuned to the 4:2 numbers, or 6:3.  Looking at =
the numbers can I determine what the best stretch for any individual =
piano from these numbers?  I guess I am trying to get beat speeds from =
cents measurements and understanding their relationship quickly before =
each tuning.
