Offset chart for HTs

[Greg Newell]

What happened to the value and note for "G" ? Also is the second equal sign for
C# supposed to be a negative or minus sign? "B" has both a plus and a minus ...
which is it? This raises the question (in my mind anyway) what the equals sign
means for any of the places that you use it? Could you please explain?
