HT Offsets

No question, use the fourth one. #1 has some imbalances; #2 is wacky; #3 has
a peculiar variation on C major; #4 is nice. I can send you charts if you
wish.

For those who use offsets to tune HT's (mine is an SAT III), I need to tune
a 1/6 Comma Meantone (Silberman) on a harpsichord next week.

Looking for the offsets, I found all of these. Two are very similar but
there are some major differences between some of them.

Anyone want to chime in with some advice as to which one to use?
