     My experience with prestretched nylgut is that it resumes its previous relaxed 
length to a great extent.  As I explained in a previous post, I had a treble break 
near the bridge, leaving enough string to retie it and re-use it.  In the short time 
it was relaxed, it lost any previous length it had gained under tension.  It took, as 
with a new string, several days to "settle in" to a stable condition.  Fortunatley I 
do not perform, or this could be a disaster! :^(
