String Replacing Annoyance

If you mean on a string replacement you can avoid the "cranking" up and
excessive slack associated with it by prewinding the string on a dummy
pin and then transferring the coil.  That will keep enough tension on
the string to keep it locked on the bridge pins.  

When restringing, you should be able to coil the string onto the new pin
enough so that you maintain tension on the string which will keep it in
place at the bridge.

What kind of ingenuity do you all use to keep the string from popping
out between the bridge pins when you're cranking the tuning pins up?
