If a hammer only needs a slight bit of travel, I'll place a short strip on the proximal side of the screw. The same strip placed at the distal position has more effect. One thing I have noticed for travelling Steinway shanks is that it also helps with spacing if you do not extend the paper onto the curved ends but keep it solely on the 'top' of the rail. This allows the flange to have more lateral rotation (such that it can). The paper being allowed to overhang the rail restricts positioning. This is also true for the fine emery cloth I place on the rail, not to let it extend over the edge. Since doing this, I've noticed a more even flange alignment on the rail and easier hammer spacing.
