Hi Robert,

It is best to do a pitch correction first unless you
have recently tuned the piano.

Better results will occur from an approach that
includes "unisons as you go" for both pitch correction
and tuning.

For the pitch correction pass do not bother with aural
checks--just go as fast as possible and tune
chromatically. (I.E. A0,A#0 etc.)

On the tuning pass use the temperament of your choice,
tune "to the lights" then do one aural check to
confirm. If there is doubt try a different aural check
to reconfirm and then "correct" using your ears.

For extending the temperament to the rest of the
piano--try various methods and find what works for
you.
