Ron, I've noticed this, and that is why I pitch raise then spend time prepping, regulating, repairing, etc. and when I do the fine tuning it does seem to be easier. I've always called it "letting the piano catch its breath". I just thought it was my imagination...

I got to thinking yesterday about pitch adjustments to a bunch of pianos in one day. Has anyone tried an "assembly line" approach to doing a few at a time? That is: 1 single pass each piano 2 go back and sencond- pass after letting them settle for the hour or so it takes for #1? I'm just wondering about stability and ease of tuning. I did three yesterday on similar P22's. Pitch-raised (25-30 cents for solo and ensemble practice) all three and then started a second pass on #3. I also "banged in" the piano with the dampers up on #2,#3 after the PR When I finally got back to #1, it seemed to settle a little bit easier into tune, but that could just be wishfull thinking!
