Stretch....What's it all about

[David Love]

The amount of stretch the Verituner uses in any given style is programmed
and based on certain assumptions about stretch preferences.  That amount is
subject to taste and has no bearing on what the Verituner does overall. 
You can set the amount of stretch that you prefer and the Verituner will
calculate the scale based on that initial setting.  When you go into the
custom mode, the numbers that appear are the default settings for
"average".   You can see that the A3-A4 octave is set as a 4:2 plus 33%.  I
assume this means 1 beat in three seconds wide.  That is too wide generally
for my taste, so I reduce that amount slightly.

> Yes, I know Joe. The reason I asked, was that is sounded like Dave was
tuning pianos with the Verituner, deciding that there was too much stretch,
and then somehow reduces the stretch. Sounded to me like he did not like
what the Verituner was calculating.
