Optimising JI guitar designs using microtemperaments

Hi Folks,

I decided it was time I stopped waiting for it to be published in
Xenharmonikon 18 and put this article up on the web, since it relates
to a couple of queries made on this list over the past year, and since
I wrote it a year and a half ago and developed the method nearly four
years ago.

The core of the method is applicable to all "linear" tunings, whether
approximating JI or not.

Sorry the links it contains aren't clickable (free demo of MakePDF),
but at least they are cut-and-pasteable.

They're clickable on my end (Acrobat 7).
