Single Strings and bearing

What I mean is that I'm adding some half sized in gauge so that I will =
be adding hitch pins to accommodate a single on each of the lowest six =
unisons.  The wrap raises the string level by the diameter of the wire =
and it's just a bit more than the bearing at that end of the tenor =
bridge.

    I find this wording below confusing. By single do you mean wrapped =
bi-chords

      I'm adding some single strings (6) to the lower part of the tenor =
section of a piano             to smooth out the scaling.>>>>>
         If so I wouldn't be all that cocerned. The extra mass and =
tension of the wrapped strings is what's moving the bridge.=20
    The bearing is minimal at the bottom of the tenor bridge and the =
singles with their=20

    wrap actually put those strings slightly negative.  Would you be =
concerned about those singles and therefore opt to compromise the =
scaling and omit them keeping a no singles pattern?  Or will they likely =
not be a problem since they won't change the overall pressure on the =
bridge that much. =20


  ... I vote keep them
              Dale>>>>>.
