Then with the program off, you can tune the A49 with your fork (checking with the F2 for comparing beat rates between the fork and A49). You might want to first calibrate your soundcard with the program available from Scott. You can use the enclosed attachment instructions for providing a fairly good temperament for any reasonable piano. After tuning the temperament aurally, you can then check to see if you have any errors as much as 1 cent. Any errors you find can be multiplied by 2.5 and subtracted from 100% to give you and unofficial score for your temperament. With 8 small errors above 1 cent you would still pass at the 80% mark. Test yourself several times to build up your confidence.
