These are the results for the fretboard strings with Paul Beier's string
calculator.
"Gut" is the column to look for as nylgut is by and large of the same
charactersitics as gut. May I recommend that you round down the decimal
places, e. g. 0.420 equals 0.4, 0.499 equals 0.5 and so on because
differences of hundredth of Newton are barely perceptible by all means.
I seem to remember that there's a factor with which to multiply the
numbers, as nylgut slacks off a little bit, but IMHO that's negligible.
