Mike:

On pianos that are chaos (1 note -55-cents, the next -162-cents) yes,
I do use the overpull mode letting TuneLab listen and calculate.
Fortunately I don't find those often.  Most are just something like
20 cents flat and I set TuneLab sharp by 25% of that and begin.  I
don't even use the "overpull" function.  I just set the offset sharp
and go.  Normally I can calculate 25% in my head!
