Hello Ron, Thanks for the confirmation of your surprising design. I have to take advantage of good weather today to get work done outside, so I'll have a closer look at your reasoning later. As to the spreadsheet, I would automate it to a greater extent by using named cells so that the key data can be entered in only 4 cells and all the rest changes automatically. I began using Excel before it was renamed Excel -- Multiplan for the Mac in 1985 -- and my bass string spreadsheet dates originally from way back then. Horrifying thought! I attach a roughly composed alternative to your speadsheet to show what I mean. You will see how it works by editing the named cells (for example, set n1_ to -5 and a49_ to 442) and looking at the formulae.
