This doesn't allow enough friction on the string to keep it in place when you space it. Sometimes just a small turn on the two nearest screws will cure the problem. Use a big screw with a big vise grip attached out to the side. Push down on the top of the screwdrive and turn the screw with the vise grip. If you are next to a wall open up two big phone books and put half on top of the piano and half behind it to push against the wall. (after you've taken the lid off!)
