Ya Bailey ...however, 2 arbitrarily chosen string lengths aint gonna do your hand and wrist any favours and is contrary
to the whole ergo-nomic fand fret idea. Much better to read my previous post and "find" or determine "YOUR" hand /arm / finger position for bar
cords and work from there. No maths needed. Just read the post till you grok it.

One size don't fit all!

Let me just add that a multiscale fretboard's solo function may not be ergonomics. In fact some multiscales are laid out in order to take advantage of compensation and tension issues. And for a fingerstyle player, bar chords may not be the issue to address...
