[pianotech] Tunelab Use Questions

[Dean May]

I'm pretty sure the free version is full featured. After using it for 3 or 4
tunings, it starts inserting a 2 minute pause about every 12th note and a
screen pops up inviting you to consider what a fine program it is and why
don't you purchase it. After 2 minutes, the screen goes away and you can use
it to tune another octave. 

It is really a great piece of software for your friend to get started with
for this reason. Full featured, free, and only a minor inconvenience for
someone learning. While she is waiting the 2 minutes she can go back over
her unisons.

Subject: [pianotech] Tunelab Use Questions

Hello all Tunelab users........  I have a friend who is considering learning
piano technology. She wishes to start by doing some elementary practice on
her piano. She wishes to use an electronic device simply to have a point of
reference so that she doesn't screw up the tuning on her piano and to help
her learn to make incremental pitch adjustments with her tuning lever.

She downloaded the free version of Tunelab. I have never used any version of
Tunelab, so I am having some difficulty helping her use the program. I found
manuals for other versions of Tunelab, but none for the free version that
she downloaded. Does the free version do the basic things - calculate a
tuning, store a tuning, show cents deviation from some target pitch? Really,
all she wants to do at this time is select a note - let's say A4 - and get a
display that show her how many cents the string is off from 440 Hz. Can
anyone help?

Thanks!

Terry Farrell
