---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Corte, I float the pitch if the situation warrants it, but I think you should use more than one note to decide where to leave the pitch of the piano. I use RCT and check A1 through A6 before making my decision. I am talking now about pianos that hover around A-440, not those that are in need of a pitchraise.
