Verituner Update

[Greg Newell]

Mr. Carpenter,
    How is this possible? If notes are measured and then tuned "on the fly" is
not the octave stretching changed also "on the fly"? If this is true then some
notes will be stretched more than others and you will have a very uneven scale
throughout because the tempering is in a constant state of flux. Further, does
it solve for A-440 or is that subject to change also based on what it hears?
Could you please explain?
