What tuning software do you recommend for that, Graham? Is there a
freeware
option if possible?

I agree completely Simon
IMHO you should use the tuner to set only ONE open chanter
All the other open strings at the same pitch should be set by ear
This is much quicker and more accurate
You should NOT set other pitches like D trompette on a G h-g with the
tuner
This will give a slightly wrong pitch
The D needs to be a pure interval against the G
The tuner will give you a tempered D
Again just do it by ear
I use a programmable tuner on my PC and laptop
You can have thousands of temperaments from file
Or you can set your own in a text file either as cents or frequency
ratios
The tuner makes tangent setting very quick and easy
I use Just Temperament by frequency ratio on all my h-gs
That looks like

Hello,

Three, a number of instruments are being built with onboard
electronic tuners. It works nicely on my guitar, I'd think that
with some 46 or so tangents, it could be a big help in getting set
up.
there are two purposes for the onboard tuner. First is to find and
control the pich of the open string, really helpful.
Second is to tune the tangents. To tune the the tangent pitches well
you will need a tuner that is capable of at least one or the other
non equally tempered scales, like Kirnberger II, Valotti, ... or one
that allows to reprogram its scale to the needed.
Most small tuners that you might find nice to build in support modern
standard equal temperament pitches only. If you find a small
reprogamable one, please let me know...
