Hola Johannes, 415hz is 1 cent below G#, so my recommendation is to add a non-printing expression that transpose the music that amount. That way the sound will be better.
I did and Excel file to calculate: INPUT Center value for DATA ENTRY (63 or 64) ----> 63 Reference value in Hertz (usually 440) ----> 440 Hertz Needed value in Hertz (ex. 430 hz) ----> 440 Hertz Cents above/below reference pitch ----> 0 cents OUTPUT Transpose value to be inserted as an expression ----> 0 semitones Data entry value for fine tuning ----> 63 INPUT Center value for DATA ENTRY (63 or 64) ----> 63 Reference value in Hertz (usually 440) ----> 440 Hertz Needed value in Hertz (ex. 430 hz) ----> 430 Hertz Cents above/below reference pitch ----> -40 cents OUTPUT Transpose value to be inserted as an expression ----> 0 semitones Data entry value for fine tuning ----> 38 INPUT Center value for DATA ENTRY (63 or 64) ----> 63 Reference value in Hertz (usually 440) ----> 440 Hertz Needed value in Hertz (ex. 430 hz) ----> 421 Hertz Cents above/below reference pitch ----> -76 cents OUTPUT Transpose value to be inserted as an expression ----> 0 semitones Data entry value for fine tuning ----> 15 INPUT Center value for DATA ENTRY (63 or 64) ----> 63 Reference value in Hertz (usually 440) ----> 440 Hertz Needed value in Hertz (ex. 430 hz) ----> 415 Hertz Cents above/below reference pitch ----> -101 cents OUTPUT Transpose value to be inserted as an expression ----> -1 semitones Data entry value for fine tuning ----> 62 INPUT Center value for DATA ENTRY (63 or 64) ----> 63 Reference value in Hertz (usually 440) ----> 440 Hertz Needed value in Hertz (ex. 430 hz) ----> 442 Hertz Cents above/below reference pitch ----> 8 cents OUTPUT Transpose value to be inserted as an expression ----> 0 semitones Data entry value for fine tuning ----> 68 Send me a request if you need a Finale 2004 file with the expressions ready.
