Mr. Chernobieff,
That is indeed the sequence. In my version (29th printing) table IV is on page 88 so I'm guessing you'd find table III where I found the beat rates around page 88 in your volume. The biggest difference in the A-A version I use is that I start with an A440 fork or pitch source. Back when I got started in the early 1980's a lot of folks still used a C523.3 fork but I abandoned using mine when I started tuning A-A. The reasoning was that orchestras tune to A and starting on C just introduced an unnecessary level of difficulty in making the oboist or concertmaster happy. The sequence is as follows.
A4 from fork
A3 from A4
** D4 from A3 and A4 ** out of sequence.D4 should be the last note but I like to set it first as mentioned previously.
E4 from A3 and A4
B3 from E4
F#4 from B3
C#4 from F#4
G#4 from C#4
D#4 from G#4
A#3 from D#4 having D4 already tuned makes the aural checks around A#3 much easier
F4 from A#3
C4 from F4
G4 from C4
D4 from G4
One can and should use several notes outside and below the temperament for aural proofing of ones intervals. As I stated earlier except for my out of sequence note each of the fifths will be contracted slightly with the setting of the pin and each of the fourths will be expanded in the same way. Just because a thing is simple and easy doesn't make it bad.

Karl thanks for mentioning this. Is this the chart you refer to? Its on pg 108 in my copy of the book.
Any tips you want to add regarding any differences of your transposed A3-A4 version.

Back in 1984 LaRoy Edwards suggested to me that a temperment between A3 and A4 might be better as it was in a more consistent part of the scale vis a vis inharmonicity. Later that year I started using Braide-Whites F-F transposed up a M3rd. For me it had the advantage of having the A3-D4 fourth and the D4-A4 fifth both beating at .99 beats per second assuming a pure octave. You can find the chart on page 68 of Piano Tuning and Allied Arts. I could use a metronome set at 60 bpm and give myself a fixed reference to match. When I got to Steinway in 1990 I discovered that they had been using the same temperment for years.

Anyone have a D-D temperament sequence. I heard a D-D temperament in the Virgil Smith video performed by Alan Zajicek, and the slower beat speeds seem to suit me better than a F-F. Thought i'd play with it awhile.
Thanks for any help.
