error? in Lou Harrison score

On the first page of Lou Harrison's
handwritten score to his _Incidental Music
for Corneille's "Cinna"_, published in
Xenharmonikon 5, he gives a diagram in
music notation for tuning the tack piano.

The 1/1 is considered to be "G".
The tuning proceeds by consonant intervals,
mostly 3/2s and 5/4s (and one 7/6), from the
initial "A" 10/9.

The last interval in the diagram is marked as
a 5/4 from "F" back to the initial "A", but the
"F" has been tuned to 7/4, not the 5/4 below
"A" 10/9, which would be "F" 16/9!

Hasn't this been noticed before? How is this
discrepancy supposed to be reconciled?

The lower chart is correct. Lou made an idle mistake when adding the a at
the end of the tuning sequence, which should have been 80/63 above the f.
His intention was to notate "5/4 + 64/63". He later recognized the error,
but he figured that anyone who would go to the trouble of retuning and
tacking their piano would be able to figure it out as well so that it was
better to leave as is than take a knife to the manuscript, which is
typically beautiful.

_Music for Corneille's Cinna_ has been frequently performed. I heard it
once at his 65th birthday concert in California and another time in New
York, in the Continuum Erickson/Harrison concert. You can hear Harrison's
own performance of the piece, along with a demonstration of the tuning, on
the cd accompanying the Miller/Liebermann biography of the composer.
