I use TuneLab in pitch raise mode timed note switching with the setting at
14sec. I use this setting for treble wire only since bass is usually faster.
So you have ±60 unisons X 13 sec.=13 minutes for treble and another maybe 7
minutes for the bass. And the beauty is that the second pass will take less
time as well since the pitch will have settled VERY close to it's final
destination. I also have Verituner and find TuneLab faster for pitch raises.

  aye. sorry about your handheld. that sucks.
  but it's raised a question. using tunelab, how long does it usually take
to do a pitchraise? i often hear about how it really improves the speed of
pitchraises...

    List,

    I've been having trouble with my handheld lately.  It hasn't been
responding to screen taps properly, no matter how many times I try to
realign the screen.  I called IPAQ tech support and they suggested soft
reset(which I'd already tried and which didn't work), then hard reset.  That
killed it, because the screen would still not align, and the unit was stuck
in that mode....:-(  Back to the repair shop it goes, and along with it go
Tunelab, Mapopolis, and my calendar.

    Back to tuning fork, Thomas brothers, and pencil and paper.  Sure am
glad I developed my aural tuning skills.  The one thing I'll really miss is
the Pitch Raise function of Tunelab.  Should be an interesting couple of
weeks.

    Reliance on technology has it's own set of problems, doesn't it???
