I have always hoped to leave a piano about 1 cent high after a pitch raise. This is usually within the range that pin flex will leave a solidly anchored top-string, and the fine tuning can be had with the least amount of hammer work, for me. I imagine that we all have different strokes on the hammer technique while we are raising the pitch, too.
