Tempo Compensation in Scanned Rolls
By John J. Breen

Capstan drive scanner induced tempo variation is discussed in the
attached file, TempoCalculation.docx

This is more technical than the typical article for MMD, but I think
the calculations will clear the subject up for those who are so
inclined.

Also attached is a spreadsheet calculator for determining the tempo
for each tune in a roll for a roll scanned with a capstan drive
scanner.
