Tuning reports

The technician's card, printed from real readings, not a summary the app invents.

What gets printed

One pass, as a table: every note it caught, each reed under the rank it came from, with its current pitch, its goal, and the error between them. It is the sheet you work down at the bench.

A reed whose pair never separated prints its beat and no per-reed figures. That gap is information: it says the tuner could not tell those two apart, rather than handing you a number that would send you to file a reed that is not there.

Printing one

Open the pass you want in the Workshop and press Print. The app asks for the format and the date, you pick where it goes, and an HTML report opens in your browser to print from.

The two formats

HTML opens in a browser and prints on A4. CSV is the same table for a spreadsheet.

The sheet's columns are Note, Bellows, Register, Curr, Goal, Err - the same figures as the table on screen, though the screen writes Error where the sheet writes Err.

The sheet follows your language

Set the app to Polish and the sheet prints in Polish, decimal commas and all: 130,8 rather than 130.8. A technician should not have to read a foreign document off his own bench.

Note naming follows the setting too, so German or Polish naming prints H where the sheet would otherwise have printed B.

The CSV does not. Its column headings are field names (note_name, curr_cents) and its reader is a spreadsheet, not a person: translating them would break every script that reads one, and a decimal comma would break the columns, because the separator is a comma. The CSV stays in English with a decimal point, on purpose.

The letterhead is off by default

The report is the bench table first. The output a working technician actually wanted is his own numbers, and a report that made him fill in a company name before it would print them is a report he would stop opening.

Turn the letterhead on for a sheet the customer keeps. It adds your workshop's name, address, website and logo, which you set once in Settings. The logo is embedded inside the file rather than linked, so the report survives being emailed and printed from somewhere else. A letterhead is not a column, so it does not apply to CSV.

What it is not

It is not a certificate and it is not a score. It is a record of what was measured, when, and against which reference.
