Hi

I've just tried to play an A with rosegarden using timidity.
I've a chromatic tuner (to tune my cello) and I put the tuner close to my speakers. And then it happened ! the tuner said "out of tune" ! It was a little to low.
I tried to set the A on my Tuner on A=439hz, and then The note played by timidity was exactly in tune.

but this is really weird, I've tried to set a new frequency table (using a file /etc/timidity/tuning where there are all the frequencies and with the option timidity -Z /etc/timidity/tuning)

i've tried this line 420000 (the frequencies have to be written x1000 in the file)
I restarted timidity with timidity -iA -Z /etc/timidity/tuning -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0
Then I've set my tuner to A=442hz
but again the A of timidity if not in tune !
My tuner tell it is an 441hz A !
Then I don't know which of timitidy or my tuner I should believe in
(there is no reason my tuner is wrong, i've used it many times in my orchestra, and it was ok)
