twocats Yes, I'm just happy to own my destiny now. I've had all kinds of experiences with tuners but I finally have a way of reproducing exactly the tuning I want, any time I want. I know what I like and I know what I don't like, but no experience or insight beyond that!
It takes me a really long time to tune. I think I'm down to 3-4 hours, so it's definitely a project. However, I also go against the grain, disregard advice, and break the rules in this regard. It's just to make it easier on myself, and hopefully I don't break anything else!
For example, when a tuning is really important to me e.g. I'm doing it for a recording, I strive to get it all done in one day. If not, I don't mind doing it over several days... I've asked Frank for features that I think help with this and he has obliged. For example, when resuming a tuning, I measure the notes I previously tuned against A440 and if they drift, I just update A to match the new measurement. I generally check my work for consistency as well. Folks have explained that it doesn't make sense to tune over several days, but it works for me, and makes my life easy.
And anyway, if my tuning doesn't turn out right for whatever reason — this has only happened when I experiment with other temperaments/settings and don't end up liking them — it's on me to fix it and no one else!
That is liberating.
