Dinarra is neither the 53 root of 2 nor the 54 of two. It's ratios are
defined, as you said, raising the fifth, narrowed in one Omega,
from -26 to +26.
I call Omega the 1/9 of a schisma.
All the frets of the guitar must be pulled out and thrown away before putting the new Dinarra
frets.
All the grooves must be filled with a paste made with glue and sawdust, although
there may be other more modern gluing pastes, and left to dry.
Sometimes an old groove is very close to the one that must be cut. In this case it's necessary to
fill it with a thin piece of hard wood with a previous layer of glue and placed in the old groove
by pressure. Once it has dried up completely it must be sandpapered, etc., and then the
fretboard is ready to cut the new grooves.

Greetings
Eduardo
