(writing in private) F2 would be 2:1 not a 4:2 You're right, I was describing a 2:1 transfer of A440 from the 1st partial of A4 to the 2d partial of A3. A temperament octave of 2:1 whereas the octave under discussion was a 4:2. BTW, I've tried an acoustically based P12 temperament a few times now, and still prefer a 6:3 for my temperament octave.
