If you need to use the tuning that is off -.08 for a pitch raise, you can do the math in your head to acommodate for the difference and proceed. But I would suggest that you fix the problem by just doing another master tuning for this instrument. With the tuning you have already stored, the FAC function and your ear, it should not take you any longer than an ordinary tuning to make a new one with which you will be comfortable of its accuracy. Then no more worry, just tune away whether pitch adjustment or regular tuning. Gina Carter
