How to get Sweetend Tunings for Guitar #73

Open jasonstone20 opened 12 months ago

This gets you pretty close to a guitar sweetened tuning, either from Cherub Tuners or Peterson Tuners, both are supposed to be based on the James Taylor Sweetened Tunings for Guitar(I also changed the Note Names so they would fit EbAbDbGbBbEb for a half-step down, instead of #D#G#C#F#A#D):

Got to Edit -> Preferences or hit Ctrl-P

Select Scale

edit scale: Name Shift Frequency C 1/1 mid-C Db 100.00 277.1826 D 200.00 293.6648 Eb 300.00 311.1270 E 400.00 329.6276 F 500.00 349.2282 Gb 600.00 369.9944 G 700.00 391.9954 Ab 800.00 415.3047 A 900.00 mid-A Bb 1000.00 466.1638 B 1100.00 493.8833

The High E and the Low E aren't perfect, but they are within <5cent, because I can either set one of the E's to be accurate, but the other will be >15 cent off, so I set them to be close, as there is only one E note to adjust.
