When tuning an unequal temperament, it can and does make a lot of difference depending on what kind of temperament is used. For that reason, temperament "correction figures" are always listed with "A" being at 0.0. Some people who tune HT's don't like this idea however, and continue to use a "C" fork or start with "C" at 0.0 and use a pitch offset to get the general pitch to be as close to standard as possible.
