Hi, Miles & Rainer, Using C as the root gives you the standard accidentals C# / Eb / F# / G# / Bb. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that using G as the root will give you D# instead of Eb. (As I remember the OT-120 has a different way to get a D# in 1/4-comma meantone: in the temperament choices you can select 'meantone b' or 'meantone #,' or something like that.)
If I’m right, I don't think you'd often want to use D as the root - you'd then have A# and have no flats at all. Though for a theorbo in A you could still set your first fret using C (3rd course) or F (2nd course). I use an android phone now, but I still often carry a second broken/old iphone because I love Hank Heijink's "Ipegs" app so much, which has many great features including letting you choose each accidental individually. Does anyone know why "Ipegs" isn't available anymore?
