It felt like there was no friction on the capo, so I reasoned that maybe a couple more degrees of contact over the radius would help. After going through with a homemade "Straightmate", I found that four or five strings had dropped about 10 cents. It helped, but wasn't the magic bullet that I ,(in my obtuse obsession) was looking for. Maybe there are just gonna be a lot of little things that will solve all this instead of the one big one.
