Bill: Yes, I've been very happy with the tunings made by TuneLab Pro, especially since the latest version was introduced. Telling the program where the break is, and measuring 4 notes on each side of the break makes a very good tuning on even problem pianos. My choice is still the full laptop version, but that's because I want the computer there for other reasons (scheduling, invoicing etc.) but the pocket version is also complete. One thing I really appreciate about TuneLab in all its versions, is that it has never crashed my system. Robert writes very bug free code that is also quite compact. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/10/02 at 11:18 PM Bill Ballard wrote: >At 8:03 PM +0000 10/10/02, Ron Koval wrote: >>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.
