[Harp-L] 19-limit Paddy



I guess that this question is mainly for Tim Moyer of workingmansharps.com.

Recently, for certain tunes in A minor (Shady Grove), I've been using a 'C' Paddy Richter tuned Golden Melody that I've modified myself.

O.K. as far as that goes, but I'm not yet satisfied with Equal Temperament so maybe 19-limit would do the job..

So before posting I checked the archives

& found this;

All pitches are relative to the reference (I use approximately A=442.5, or +10 cents):

blow: +00  -14  +04  +00  -14  +04  +00  -14  +04  +00
hole: 001  002  003  004  005  006  007  008  009  010
draw: +02  +04  -10  +02  +03  +06  -10  +02  +03  +06

Sorry for all the zeros, but it keeps the letters aligned better.  <

(I print this chart out in 14 point Courier New  font)

I've already used this formula on regular harps & liked it.

Now my question is :

As the 2 Blow has been raised a wholetone should I now consider it as :
a) The tonic therefore +00 cents
b)A sixth and adjust the fine tuning to +06 cents?
c)Or as a second, +02 cents?

Also, should  I decide to go one step further & raise the 5 Draw by a semi-tone would you advise me to treat it as a Major 7 (i.e. -10 cents) 
or, as a #4/b5 as in the tri-tone between 5 & 7 draw (i.e.-13cents)

What would you advise?
Thanks in advance
