How To Choose an ETD was ... something else

I found that an ETD was a help as I was learning aural tuning, to test 
myself... until I got my aural temperament consistently within, say, 3 cents 
of where it should be.  Then it sapped my confidence, because I would start 
to get some good fourths and fifths, but since the notes weren't where they 
were calculated to be (absolutely), I would get disappointed.  I had to 
learn to put my A4 pitch into TuneLab's "basic offset", too, to compensate 
(until I got that down).  It has a good PTG exam scoring feature, but I 
didn't use that until much later.

Now, I use TuneLab only for pitch raises, where it gives an excellent result 
with no muting at all in a lightning 17-minute pass (with timed note 
switching).
