Please substitute the following in the previous post "Compiled Workload
Formula" (I somehow sent a version without final edits):

Standard of Maintenance 
(0.1) - Top performance: Piano is maintained in meticulous condition at
all times: tuning, voicing, and regulation at highest possible standard,
with daily or near daily attention; rebuilding and reconditioning on an
accelerated schedule so that piano is kept virtually "like new."
(Generally concert instruments in recital hall)
(0.4) - Near top performance: Piano maintained as above, but with weekly
to twice-weekly attention, and somewhat slacker rebuilding schedule.
(Generally piano teaching studios and the like. In some situations may
apply to concert instruments).
(0.7) - Excellent: Piano kept near performance level - well tuned,
voiced, and regulated. Weekly to bi-weekly attention. Rebuilding and
reconditioning on a regular basis.
(1.0) - Very good: Piano kept at an acceptable musical level - tuned,
voiced and regulated on a regular basis. Bi-weekly to monthly attention.
Reconditioned on a regular basis.
(1.3) - Good: Piano kept at an acceptable musical level - tuned, voiced
and regulated on a regular basis. Monthly to bi-monthly attention.
Reconditioned on a regular basis.
(1.8) - Fair: Piano kept at an acceptable musical level - tuning allowed
to deteriorate before retuning, voicing and regulation kept at
acceptable levels. Once to twice a semester attention.
(2.5) - Minimum: piano tuned twice a year; all keys "working."
