(Opposite order of = course.)

I have tweaked the style setting = to stretch the octaves in a manner which emulates my aural tuning = style. I have noticed that C8 is usually stretched to about +36c (less than what = I was setting aurally, which was too high - broken strings). Where do = others end up?  I followed another tuner on a rental D recently and C8 was = +60c, way too sharp for my taste. -- Regards, Jon Page </BODY></HTML>
