I pitch raise if over 4 cents flat, but then again, I might just leave it where it is if I think it will come back up. I tune all strings as I go (even when tuning...haven't used a temp strip in 10 years...if I'm using a fork I will use a temp strip...shows how long its been since I used a tuning fork) and I never compensate for pitch change...i.e.20 cents flat tune 5 cents sharp. I may be the only one who does this so make your own determination in this regards. I don't like to bring the pitch back down when I'm fine tuning.
