Hi all, I thought I might take this opportunity to put in a plug for my page on tunings and temperaments: http://www.theaterofmusic.com/temperaments.html. Sadly, it is not as up-to-date as I would like, but I do have a table of basic cent values for several temperaments as well as the calculation one uses to determine the fret factors (the number used to multiply by the string length in order to obtain the fret position). I purposely left off the fret factors themselves because different calculators (with various capacities for the number of digits) give different results due to rounding. I hope this is helpful for the discussion at hand. Andrew To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
