Sorry, I have just read it and didn't see it.  To be able to manually offset 
each note has nothing to do with a specialized program that computerize a 
whole stretch curve and connects all the octaves together with a smooth and 
nice intervals progression.

Besides, calculating a whole tuning is just one of an assets of the specific 
piano tuning devices.  The pitch raise program just itself is worth ten 
times the extra money you may pay for it.

0.01 cents precision for RCT.  Close enough for Rock and Roll :-)
