Hi Terry, I was not blessed with having a list like this--so no one told me that getting to 0.1 of a cent was ummmm a bit loopy? So because I was learning largely by myself, I learned to move pins tiny increments (thank you Dr. Coleman). I was using a Sot with knob pots...and it was capable of 0.01 cent measurement (yes, I know you can't hear that) so I was always falling short of 0.1 cent accuracy. I darn near gave up tuning, too! I was green as grass and didn't know about anticipated pitch drop either. Tunings took a long time at first. There was no competant tuner within 200 miles, so I was lifting myself by my own bootstraps. That and conventions. I still go to the basic tuning classes when I attend a convention. I'm always striving to get better. I was fortunate to be learning on a Yamaha C7, which is one of the cleaner pianos out there.
