SAT Pitch Raise to Lower Pitch

[David ilvedson]

I believe you bring the FAC strings up to A440 range for 
calculations.  Now you have a tuning for that piano on a page 
for A440.  Now shut it off and back on or hit tune? and offset 
to the desired pitch say -20 cents or +10 cents.  Shift/Msr 
button and you have a - or + in the left window.  Bring up the  
page of memory and it will tune that page with the offset.  Use 
the pitch raise program as you normally would.  When done 
your A4 will be -20 or +10.
