    Yes, I'm aware of that, but I don't usually have to alter A 
much at all when setting the FAC numbers.  Sometimes, after 
offsetting the pitch with the Cents Up/Down and Reset buttons, 
when I get to A, the lights are barely moving at all  (meaning 
that particular string doesn't have much inharmonicity, as I 
understand it).  I have yet to try people's suggestions -- I've 
been involved with other things the last few days.  Thanks all, 
for the replies.
