TuneLab has been revised to handle spinets in a special way. Based on a suggestion by Jim Coleman, Sr. on tuning spinets, TuneLab can now project two independent inharmonicity curves for the portions of the scale above and below the break between wound and plain strings. The tuning curve is adjusted in the normal way for the portion above the break. The tuning curve below the break is made to produce beatless 6:3 octaves all the way down. This may result in a discontinuity in the major thirds and tenths, but at least the octaves are clean. This optional way of tuning is available in both the laptop and the Pocket PC versions of TuneLab. Free trial versions are available at www.tunelab-world.com. -Robert Scott Real-Time Specialties
