Everything you need about fret positions is written in David van Oojien
page about temperaments. I use the 1/6 comma (pythagorean) with the
first fret to the A flat position (for a G first string). That gives a
very wrong F sharp on the IV course (it is a G flat indeed) but old
music does show D major chord with the F sharp to the IV course really
really seldom (that's another thing that seems to show they used some
sort of temperament)
Excellent! Facts - some people have serious problems with facts.

Another argument, I have not seen here, yet.
In unequal [must be equal] temperament all octaves are pure.
In 1/6 meantone the octave 2e, 4b is not pure at all.
There is a piece by de Rippe where he uses 2e and 5g instead.
I have run a regular expression search (the computer gurus will know) on all my
tab files (to scan Fronimo files is impossible, the format is binary):
the octave 2d, 4a occurs 805 times.
The octave2e, 4b occurs 0 [yes zero] times.
I think this is a rather convincing argument, is it not?

The regular expression is not very sophisticated since it does not properly
handle ornaments. But 805:0 is even better than Germany's 7:1 :)
