Thanks everyone for your comments. There seems to be a general consensus (and
elsewhere too) so I'll check nobody actually *is* using extreme settings for
some reason, and maybe tame it down a bit.

As an aside, doing further reading it seems most authorities consider 5 cents to
be about the limit for people to detect pitch change (lots of caveats of
course) yet Scala example files have figures with 10^-6 cents, and Yoshimi
has 10^-6 :o
