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.

PS: Sorry. I've accidentally sent this message to the Lute Net as well.
