Dear George,

as cycle of 5ths:
C 149
g: (447>) 446 G=223
d: (669>) 668 334 D=167
a: (501>) 500 A=250 125
e: (375>) 374 E=187
b: (561>) 560 B=280 140 70 35
f# 210 105
c# 315
g# (945>) 944 472 G#236 118 59
Eb 177
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
bb (531>) 530 Bb=265 ??????????????????????????????????????????????
F: (795<) 796 398 F=199 did you really intend here an broade dog-5th?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
c: (597>) 596 298 149

In order to get rid of the buggy wide dog-5th inbetween Bb and F,
there i do reccomend to arise Bb a little bit, so that Brad
Lehman's overtempering defect vanishes, simply in replacing
the formerly old Bb 265 by
the new more apt higher value: 265.5 := 531/2
....
Eb 177
bb 531 Bb=265.5
F: (1593>) 1592 796 398 F=199
c: (597>) 596 298 C=149

Do you agree with that improving suggestion?
