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.

Dear all,
I do apologise that the table appears to have been corrupted (well, it was
absolutely fine though in plain text format on my computer ...!?). I'll
try to rearrange it somehow and send again.
Peter, thanks very much for your personal email. I'll wait for more
details from you about the fret distances.
Alexander
