I left the monochords at ten, and ended up with an A-0 length 
of 1308mm, and transition lengths of 987 at B-2. and 932 at 
D-3. Four notes. It worked real pretty in the spreadsheet, and 
the bridge placement and lengths sound (so far) like I won't 
need any mass loading or even voicing to smooth the 
transition. It's very smooth right out of the box, and I don't 
even have the hammers squared up and strings mated to them 
yet. I seem to have come pretty close.
