[pianotech] Was: TuneLab as an IPhone App

[John Ross]

I was wondering, what happens if the phone rings while you are tuning?
Do you have to reset the machine, just what happens when you answer  
the phone, and then want to go back to tuning?
Is Tunelab, the only program that works with a smart phone?
