I believe this requires 12" to be removed at the main tuning slide (6" each leg) but I have no idea what happens at the
1st, 2nd & 3rd valve tuning slides. How is this calculate please.

Re: Bb Valve Trombone to C
Basically, per leg it's 6" in the cylindrical TS, 3/4 for the 1st valve, 3/8 for the 2nd, and 1 1/8 for the 3rd.
If you're interested... the equal temperament semitone ratio is 1:2^(1/12), thus 2^(2/12) for a whole tone, very close to the just major tone ratio of 9:8.

Bb | C | difference | per leg | |
open | 108 | 96 | 12 | 6 |
1st | 13.226 | 11.756 | 1.470 | 0.735 |
2nd | 6.422 | 5.708 | 0.714 | 0.357 |
3rd | 20.434 | 18.164 | 2.270 | 1.135 |
