ETDs & Pitch Corrections: Verituner

[Farrell]

My understanding is that the procedure that will yield the best calculated 
tuning in one pass is to measure all the A's, measure the two adjacent notes 
at the tenor/bass break, then start tuning a A3 and go up to the top. Then 
return to A3 and work your way down.

Sometimes what I do is measure the A's and then measure all the notes from 
A0 to A4. Recalculate tuning and start tuning at the low tenor to C88 and 
then high bass to A0. Gives you an optimal calculated tuning and only takes 
about five extra minutes at most.
