Thanks for the update, Kent.

What other capabilities does the software have?

Why is it necessary to "develop the specific procedures that will allow the
best-possible tunings to be had using the software"? Is it not as simple as
beginning with A4 and doing a temperament octave? Or, do certain routines
result in better tunings?

I wouldn't mind paying the $$$.00 for the software. It would be nice,
though, if it would record pitches for scoring RPT tuning exams (or for
custom aural tunings as well).
