Tuner Poll

The way it is is fine with me but maybe make it all three and choose which you want in setup.

Poll results are interesting. All sharps by far least popular yet most tuners use a sharp indicator for accidentals.

I think it’s because guitarists typically tune down, and flat is easier to associate with that.

I think those tuning to different notes aside from strict downtuning have less issue with this entire thing.

Don't most guitarists typically play in standard tuning? See my argument above for why that leads to all sharps.

i think tuning down to Eb is less common than standard tuning.

I can't do chords like super-Dylan,

Nuts, my day and self-esteem were both going well until I watched that video!

If they tune away from standard it’s usually down.

Not always. I use Open-E, Open-G, Open-A, DADGAD.

I never do dropped-D or tune half step flat, but half step flat is very common - especially with blues/Strat players using heavier strings and grew up listening to SRV.

Not always.

It’s why I said usually.

And don't forget that Van Halen fella.

I'm not a VH fan...

I'm so happy to have a killer tuner built in to the rig. The sharp vs flat nomenclature makes no difference to me or the guitar I'm tuning. I would be more interested in having different temperaments to tweak.

I've made the indication selectable for the next firmware release: Mixed, All Flats, All Sharps.

 

[Mott]

Well that should make everyone happy. Thanks Cliff!

 

[Hellbat]

You should default it to all sharps.

 

[Anto]

Thanks a lot

Best possible outcome for everyone!

Well, crap. I had already printed out your conversion chart to put next to my AXE and laminated it to protect it against beer spillage.
But seriously, thanks for listening.

This, folks, is just one more example of why FAS outshines any other manufacturer (music gear or otherwise) I've ever seen. They listen to and quickly act upon customer suggestions. Thanks, Cliff!

I prefer F#, Ab, Bb, C#, and Eb. I can justify most of those because of music theory (the F and C are first to be sharped, the B and E are first to be flatted, and thus are more common than their alternatives). The Ab / G# argument could go either way, since A is third to be flatted and G is third to be sharped.
