David, I think we speak about different things here when we talk about 3 or 4 note combinations. You probably mean the (of course common method) to judge purity over the stretch range of more than a perfect twelfth. My method is not used for tuning stretch (like the Bremmer method with sostenuto with three or four notes over two or three or four octaves). I use 3-note combinations in one pure twelfth, and set up the complete temperament with an octave and an inner lower fifth and a inner outer fifth. Have you ever set up the tempereament this way? I donīt think so. And this will also lead to a different result than your method does. regards, Bernhard > Fine, we will see you there. > I can prove I taught a student to use octave-fifth > 3 and 4 note combinations to judge purity and choose > spread 10 years ago.
