Before I write some myself, let me ask what exercises might exist to help a student of mine habituate to the correct (flat and sharp) positions for the 6th & 7th partials, having learned the notes some years ago with unmodified positions. Thanks.

Playing with drones can be super helpful - making sure to slowly glissando in and out of the pitch to make sure you're not using chops to autocorrect

I learned the micro tuning just by playing n the Remington 3, 4,, 5 and 6 note slurs and being shown what to do for the notes as I ascended and descended. With the common alternates I was taught to match them with the “normal” notes. Notes like the G in second could be checked with the lower octave.
