Verituner on pocket pc?

[Don]

Hi Gregor,

The overpull might be called "anticipated drop" if the pitch is being
raised. The etd's ability to calculate overpull to get "very close" is
quite amazing. I've done 100 to 200 cent pitch changes and found A4 to be
within 1 cent of the correct pitch. That's a nice place to start a fine
tuning.
