One thing we can all do is mail the three biggies Reyburn, Sanderson, and
Tom and ask them to include more features in these products use as measuring
devices. String partials should be able tobe measured in cents (in
both the Sat III manner and in the manner Reyburn uses) <b><i>and </i></b>hz,
(for some purposes hz are handy) and the data should be able to be exported
in ascii format for use in spreadsheets / math graphics programs. Tune
Lab is the only one of the three so far to have this option and its only
in cents. (which admitedly has more uses then hz for our purposes, still
the extra option of having hz would be nice)
