After a couple years, I was doing some tuning changes and I decided to rewrite my string tension calculator.

Features:

Compares string tension of multiple guitars at once;
Calculates tension in kg/cm, lb/in and Newton;
Plots a line chart comparing the tensions;
Supports 6, 7 and 8 string guitars;
Supports multi-scale guitars (fanned frets);
Provides several pre-configured commercial string packs;
Allows customization of string packs;
Provides several pre-configured tunings;
Allows customization of tunings.

Nice tool. What I really like about this is that you have standard sets and tunings loaded into it already. All of the other online ones I've tried make you adjust each string individually if you want to do D standard with a D'addario set of .010s (for example).

Are you able to add in something that will report the total tension (sum of tension in all strings)? That's what I have been using to gauge whether it will be too tight or loose overall.

Again. great job.
