Is there really that much difference in cumulative string tension between
A435 and A440?  (I know, I should do the math...)  I'm aware that A435 used
to be the standard.

Also, since the treble strings have more tension than the bass, why does
tuning in order from A0 to C88 result in the least overall complications
when doing a pitch raise?  (I read this in the TuneLab documentation).
Wouldn't you want to make the biggest tension adjustments first, and the
least last?
