The partials in the sustained portion of a plucked string are harmonic, and thus tunable to just intervals by eliminating beats.
This is true only of perfectly flexible strings. Real ones have some stiffness, which makes the partials slightly sharper than harmonic, the difference increasing with higher numbers. It's a fairly small effect, enough to ameliorate the roughness of thirds in ET 12, but less than enough to eliminate it altogether, even on the piano. -- Ken Moore _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
