[CITTERN] Re: Palmer orpharion images

[Alexander Batov]

Thank you, Stewart, for your suggestions. OK, I'll try to do it in the
Courier font. As I've said, I used Paul Beier's Calculator and just stuck to
how columns arranged there, but you are right it would be more logical to
put equal temperament next to 1/8th comma.

Dear Alexander,

Many thanks for your table showing the temperaments arising from the
fretting of the Palmer orpharion.

Would it help if you compiled the table with the Courier font, like I do
for
musical examples? It is a monospaced font, so you shouldn't get variations
from one computer to another.

It would be easier for the eye to take in how close the instrument is to
equal temperament, or otherwise, if equal temperament appeared in a column
next to 1/8th comma, not next to 1/4 comma meantone which is furthest away
in terms of temperament.

Best wishes,

Stewart McCoy.
