Re: WIDesigner release 2.4.0 now available

Trying to get back at whistlemaking, but encountered some additional questions:
1. Does "Blowing level" affect anything beyond the position of the blue circles on the graph? It doesn't affect the values in the table.
2. Is there any benefit to using "DIRECT" calculation? It takes marginally longer but other than that I haven't seen a change in the values.
3. Is it a problem to configure a tuning file with only the notes, fingerings, ratios, and frequencies of your desired scale? I calculated my desired temperament from Hans Bracker's "trad" frequencies, which doesn't include unused values like minor seconds etc.
4. Is "1 whistle calibration tool" intended to adjust hole spacings? T3 got moved by a thou when I ran the tool.
5. Something has gone badly awry with "4. hole and spacing optimizer." When I use it according to the instructions, it gives me a length of 15 inches over the original Eb tube's 10.
As always, procedure notes are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zP4 ... sp=sharing
And the tuning file in question is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2aALn ... sp=sharing
I appreciate any recommendations here!
The headjoint's done, I just need to calculate some decent body tube dimensions and I can release these.
