Say wha???  Only every time I do a piano I 
haven't already saved... and I forget to save them fairly often. ;-}
I _always_ use it to record the pitch of A4, so 
you might say I use it every time I do a tuning - 
twice if it's a big pitch raise (>100¢) since you 
have to play the A# (or higher) for it to 
recognize the As.  (Chameleon/pitch raise/chameleon/fine tune)

RCT does the "heavy lifting", my ears do the unisons.
