palm pilot

[Dale Probst]

Michael,
I carry the AC adapter for the iPAC but when I am working on stage or
other places I have the Libretto for a backup. Between the two of them I
have a full day of battery power. 
I tweak tunings but I don't do anything that's not in the help section
of TuneLabPocket. I do tend to use different octave and partial settings
than the default based on what type of scale I am working on. Since I
don't have the help files installed on the iPAQ it did take me a bit of
time to find my way around the program. 
Good Luck,
Dale

Dale,

Why don't you take the cradle along, plug it in, tune with the ipaq in
it so 
it will not run out of battery power... You probably need a recharge
after 
about 3 tunings right? I doubt that your Libretto will run all day on
its 
battery either. Don't you have to plug the Libretto in in in order to
use it 
all day?

I just replaced my Palm IIIxe with the new Ipaq 3835. What a huge 
difference! I can finally SEE what i am doing. I have tried TuneLab
Pocket 
on it. I am not sure if I like it. It certainly is convenient and I
really 
am surprised how well it works..  But I like to tweak calculated tunings
and 
so far I have found it extremely klunky to do any kind of adjustment on
the 
TLPocket program. The tuning graph is not very readable and I can not
seem 
to get any kind of individual note information from it.

Do you do any kind of on-the-fly adjustments while you tune? Any tips
you 
might like to share?    :)
