Make it where you can see a couple of scale sizes side by sidr for comparison. I don't give it a 5 stars quite yet, but it is very close. Besides wanting more than one scale size side by side,at least two, if not a couple. Being as most of us are far less than pro, We don't own a lot of fine equipmnt. Can you give us some scale lengths in increments of 64ths of an inch, though it may not be perfect, it would still be pretty damned close. If and when you can do that, I will gladly give 5++ Stars

Seems to work fine but why doesn't it include compensation for the bridge saddle position? Other fret calculators seem to include this important data. Being able to print the fret positions would be another big help. Can then be attached to board, cut on the lines, and not have to measure.

The calcs in your App are perfect! But it needs completion, ie it needs to also indicate total string length per string. And this is not just 12th fret times 2....but slightly longer for proper intonation, different per string and very different between nylon and steel strings.......
