The !!! 5th B>F# has to be flattend down by the product of
(123/122)*(122/121) = 123/121 = 61.5/60.5
because 122 cancels out in nominator versus denominator.
I frankly admit:
Tempering the 5th: B>F# about
(1 200 * ln(61.5 / 60.5)) / ln(2) = ~28.38...Cents
flat sounds a bit harsh even in my ears, due to enforcing the:

Yes, in deed, in imitating Werckmeister's "Septenarian" way,
See for deeper ananlysis also the later decomposition into prime-factors.

but the composite 61.5/60.5:=123/121 satisfies again that proprty,
if we allow additional half-integral superparticulars as valid too.

The value in parentheses versus the bare without the
parenthesis indicate the amount of tempering the 5ths.
Hence:
The values enclosed inbetween the brackets represent
only the virtual pitches, that an just-pure 5th step
(factor 3:2) would have merely thought ,
instead/versus the real tempered pitch-numbers,
without any parentheses barely.

The denominator 528 is correct, due to C5 528:=33*16,
hence just another typo error in transferring from
paper to posting. Sorry! Thanx for yours patience.

Antediluvianic integer arithmtics avoids the faultyness of
logarithms in the "regular" theory, in order to get rid of
accumualting logarithmic rounding-errors, that you have inavoidable
alyways inherent included in modern ET "regular" systems.

Consider the Advantages of the traditional way:
1.Everything can executed easily merely by pencil and paper,
without any need of electronic calculators or even slide rulers.
2. All 5ths beatings are synchroneous to 1 Hz or Metronome: 60 beats.
3. You got exaclty all the demanded ratios 4:5:....,11:12 just pure,
instead merelyarbitray incontrolable numerical approximations
whatsoever.
4. The way of calculating represents the procedere in practical tuning
too.
Are that enough convincing arguments in order to prefer W's old method?

On A2,3,4 only 111,222,444 got tuned in practice.
in contrast remain (55,110,220,440 in the brackets)
merely virtual meant, without got tuned real in practice:
A (55,110)111 merely 111 matters to represent the significant pitch
E 165:=55*3
hence the 5th A>E amounts =165/111. It becomes 111/110
(1 200 * ln(111 / 110)) / ln(2) = ~15.67....Cents
flattend down, than if it would be just pure
3/2 = 165/110 =, because =(165/111)(111/110).

In general:
Subtracting any arbitray argument N the difference (-1)
is algebraic equivalent to an multiplication of N times (N-1)/N.
Proof: N * ((N-1)/N) = N-1. q.e.d. done by shortening.

>Forget it.
Why?
But W's old method yields exact the desired result,
instead merely approximating the true ratios by
irrational-act numbers of the "regular" ET theory.
The "regular" ET theory excludes inherently, due to of beeing
resticted only to irrational-numbers, to obtain the correct ratios of the
4:5:6:7...:11:12 chord in an finte amount of numerical steps,
directly correct, neither on the paper nor on the machine,
and must hence refused as inferior,
in applying Occams-razor!

ok, let's factorize the 11 terms out into prime decomposition:
__297/296__ __11*3^3/37*2^3
__111/110__ ____37*3/55*2
__165/164__ ____55*3/41*2^2
__123/122__ ____41*3/61*2
__122/121__ ___61*2/11^2
_1089/1090_ 11^2*3^2/545*2
__545/546__ _____545/273*2 "that one went lost last time, sorry
__819/820__ ___273*3/205*2^2
__615/616__ ___205*3/77*2^3
__231/232__ ____77*3/29*8
___87/88___ ____29*3/11*2^3
That results in
total over all : 3^12/2^19,
the collective product over all 11 superparticulares.
Factors not equal to powers of 3 or 2 do cancel out each others in
nominator versus denominator, so that just merely the PC=3^12/2^19
remains:
Simply add the exponents of the 3s and respectively of the 2s.
That yields two sums in the powers of the 3s: =12,
respectively in the 2s: =-19,
makes concluding final: 3^12/2^19=531441/528244. q.e.d.

That remark looks already alike,
you got meanwhile be able to understand
a little more about comprehending the concept.

they are chosen in above way inbetween the given specified ratios,
in order to interpolate the cycle of 12 5hts,
as smooth as possible,
under the predetermined restrictions like:

Summary in other words:
The values in parenthesises serve merely as
auxiliary-variables, working for the intermediate
5ths-tempering calculation steps inbetween,
but become dispensable for yielding the final result,
hence they do appear carried along in brackets merely virtual,
in order to indicate the priority of the intended 12 bare
pitch-frequencies against the assumed pure ones,
in order to compensate by/on the way the PC,
by its subdivision into superparticular factors.

Is that to grasp really so difficult?
