Octave Tuning

I just wanted to echo Ric's comments here. There are many different 
tuning styles, you just need to choose what you feel sounds best whilst 
keeping your mind open to other possibilities. If you're using an ETD 
to tune with I would recommend spending some time occasionally without 
it to determine what types of tunings you find more pleasing to your 
ear, then you can go back to the device and see what it has to say.

Same.

Interesting. I'll have to try that out sometime. Just to clarify, after 
you set the temperament octave you use the 12ths as the primary means 
to tune (at least within the tenor treble area)?
