Single Strings and bearing

Okay, I will go into it a bit.  This is not a great piano and the =
project requires keeping costs to a reasonable minimum.  The tenor =
bridge has more than adequate bearing down to about note 35, then  the =
bridge starts to dive a bit so that the bottom of the tenor bridge has =
minimal bearing except when you factor in the tied string problem.  The =
board has minimal crown.  The bass bridge already has way too much =
bearing and I'm building up the rest area in front of the hitch pin by a =
fair amount to offset this.  I don't really want to reset the plate if I =
don't have to.   So, as I stated in my post to Jon Page's response.  =
What is the better compromise.

  In this case I think I'd look into dropping the tail of the plate just =
a bit. I would like to see a bit of string bearing down there. Be sure =
you don't overload the bass bridge, though.

    I'm adding some single strings (6) to the lower part of the tenor =
section of a piano to smooth out the scaling.  The bearing is minimal at =
the bottom of the tenor bridge and the singles with their 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
