Dearest List,
I will be tuning for a concert today in which 5 grands will be played
simultaneously.  My stretch #'s give me varied settings for A 4.  I noticed
as much as 8+ cents variance.  I can't remember for sure how to tune all
five to exactly A-440.  I believe that each of the five tunings should be
offset by the amount that the A is off of 440.  Is that right?  In other
words, if the stretch tuning gives me A4 to be +.04 cents sharp, I should
then offset the Accutuner by -.04 cents, landing A-4 @440.  Doing this to
all five will put them as close to one another as possible.  Thanks!
