Why not, David? While I'm glad that you're getting good results with your
methodology, I think it's a bit like me refusing to use a tape measure or a
straight edge in my work "because I've got a good eye" even though those
tools are within arms' length.
I find the pitch raise program to be a very dependable tool; of course,
it's still necessary to go over the piano 2-3 times depending on the pitch
change and demands of accuracy.
