from what I read the fret calculators on the net are based on historic
instruments - hence a distinct Gerle and Dowland tuning because they are taken
from the fret marks on the neck of different instruments.
@ Daniel Shoskes, I wonder with 1/6th comma tuning what is the reference pitch

For my Renaissance lute I prefer 1/6 comma. Not too extreme if the keys stray

equal, it’s handy to know how to get to 1/6 comma if you ever play in a mixed
ensemble.
