Seems to me that wholesale aggressive lifting of the strings is certain 
to unlevel everything, causing plenty of voicing issues. It seems to me 
that strings respond variously and unpredictably to indiscriminate 
yanking.  Is there some way of doing this that results in level strings? 
Or are you assuming that the strings have never been lifted, and 
therefore need to have their bends sharpened, and they'll come out level 
because they all pass under the same capo, or something like that? Thanks.
