Sorry Ron, my simple mind got away from me again. I'll probably do worse
next time.

That's pretty much like what I've been reading, which is why I asked.

Ah yes, that would be my other question about how one determines how much
of a pitch correction is necessary when prorating from cents deviation. You
don't seem to fit the profile, since you are apparently doing what I asked
why people weren't doing, so just keep doing what you're doing if it's
working, and it makes sense to me, but thanks for the response.
