If you can tune to A440 with a pitch change of 7 cents to your 20 cents in one pass your a better man than me. Any pitch change will cause about a 25% correction in the opposite direction. With a 4 cent change you will be off about 1 cent. Of course that wouldn't bother me in my everyday work. I tend to lean towards 2 passes whenever there is a change of 4 cents or more and I charge for it and I give them my disclaimer...
