 between adjustments? No? Did anyone look at and measure anything at all
 other than dealing with the symptom of lost motion changing? Heck, I've
 cleared up more than a couple of really embarrassing mysteries for myself
 when I finally quit pondering helplessly and actually went looking for
 causes. It always makes me wonder what other painfully obvious things I'm
 baffled by on a daily basis.

OK, smarty pants, :) Even if I did do all the measuring, (which I didn't), 
what if I did find movement in the keybed. Why is the keybed moving so much 
as to cause lost motion? ( I had to turn each capstan about 1/2 a turn.)  Was 
it the moisture in the back rail cloth? Did the back rail flatten out?  I 
don't seem to have this problem with other pianos. Why is it happening on 
Yamaha studios? I thought Yamaha's were supposed to be better than the 
average piano, which does not have this problem?
