It's been my experience that when you get to make your own 
bridges and string scale, you can get smooth transitions in 
tension, Z, and inharmonicity all at once. This is at the 
expense of break% transitions.

I don't know how anyone else does it, but I go back and forth 
between piano and spreadsheet until I get something that works 
on paper, will physically fit in the piano, and is in my 
judgment most likely to work tonally.
