Fw: Tuning

[Greg Newell]

Tony,
    's alright with me fella! I think that you may have good luck with TuneLab
97 as you have a bit better graphical picture of what is happening. In the
Graphical tuning editor one can use check boxes for which intervals to favor
(options page from the editor window). Perhaps this will help.
