Implemented Buzz Feiten Tuning Option for FM9's Tuner

I do know the offsets are adjustable, however I don't know what those values would/should be for a Buzz Feiten guitar. For instance; my Peterson tuners have a pre-programmed "Buzz Feiten" sweetener that already contains those offsets. You simply select that sweetener and you're good to go. When...

If a tuning is based on notes that fall into the normal 12-tone scale, I see no need to add it, likewise for ones that fall within a constant offset from A440. That means drop tunings and open tunings shouldn’t be added because anyone using them should already know the notes being targeted even...

All John Suhr guitars are build to the Buzz Feiten tuning. The nut are a smidgen offset. Using fx. the Peterson tuners with BF offset your get spot-on. Not saying that when you see James Taylor playing he never hit the EAD strings harder than the GHE's.
