Verituner Does this mean that you can tell Verituner, for example, that you 
want the temperament octave a little narrower than a 4:2, and you want the 
next 2 octaves above the temperament to be at 4:2, and
the top octave at a wide 4:1 double octave, the bass at a wide 6:3 and
the lowest octave at a wide 10:5

Yes, this has been available since I got my machine, at least. (1 yr)  But 
using a machine this way still leads to errors, because you are making 
guesses as to what will fit the piano.  Educated guesses, and with time, you 
certainly get better with guessing.

What the VT will do, using your example from above....

You like the temperament octave real "clean" with a contracted 4:2, instead 
of guessing how much, let the machine measure both the 2:1 and the 4:2 and 
put the tuning,say 70% between, favoring the 4:2.  Once you find the 
percentage that works for you, it can translate to any instrument you might 
come across.  Likewise, you can place target points anywhere in the scale, 
from A0-C88, not just move the A's around, and have the rest of the tuning 
adjust based on those A's.

I used to spend upwards of 15 mins. each tuning sampling and messing with 
the graphing equalizer before tuning with RCT, and I did get some pretty 
good results.  It's so much easier to fire up the VT, punch in my custom 
setting, pick an optimizing temperament and just start tuning.
