TuneLab goes commercial

[Tony Caught]

Hi Robert,

I have downloaded your new Tunlab Pro and like what I see. But I does not
understand what the different settings mean in the tuning template. I am
putting this on the list because maybe there are more dummies out there who
are also confused.

Press T.  Adjust via 6:3 single octave in bass and 4:1 double octave in
treble, as this is how aural tuners tune.
In the bass, 6 refers to the 6th partial in the high note and 3 refers to
the 3rd partial in the one octave lower note ?
In the treble, 4 is the partial of the lower note and 1 is the fundamental
of the two octave higher note. ?
In the bass section:
What are 3:2 fifths and 6:4 fifths ? What is an octave and a fifth denoted
at. ?

Sorry, I am confused, you say use the 6:3 octave in the bass and using your
sample Steinway D file this give a -2.44 cents at A0. To me that is too high
and if I say I want to have pure double octaves in the bass and go on to 4:1
double octave in the bass, I wind up with a reading of +1.77 cents on A0.
If I use 3:2 fifths it is -7.5 cents on A0 and using 6:4 fifth, it is -10.6
cents on A0.

I tuned a Steinway D today and took measurements on C1 thru C6, F3 F4 A3 A4,
and using the T template on 6:3 A0 was -2.51 cents. Close enough to your
sample file but, I think that I always tune A0 to about -12 cents.

Need input.
