Here's yet another version of the perennial sett question. I know the ultimate answer is Sample! but I'd appreciate some preliminary advice.
I have a cone of handpainted 10/2 tencel and I wanted to try Sandi Morton's "Double court bob minor" draft from Sixty Scarves for 60 years : Weavers Guild of Greater Baltimore 1949-2009, (WGGB 2009), pp. 50-51, described as rosepath threading and echo weave treadling. The original uses 10/2 bamboo sett at 24 epi. That is, at the more open end of the scale for 10/2 bamboo, which is 4200 ypp. The 10/2 tencel is 4000 ypp., and a correspondingly open sett of the tencel might be . . . 20? But then I've read (here) that tencel likes a closer sett. I've also read that tencel dislikes being crowded, so my best options seem to be 2 per dent in a 10 dent reed or 2 per dent in a 12 dent reed.
I am a beginner, and have a tendency to over-beat. To compensate, am I better off start with the lower, more open sett? With the tencel, and my predelictions, should I be beating on an open shed or closed?
