Changing Scordatura During Performance

It is possible to alter the pitch of strings during performance.
Unless a tuning section is to be employed, the change of pitch should always be considered as appoximate and never exceed the suggested upward limits. The are examples that feature and extremely detuned fourth (or fifth string) and in Fernando Grillo's example from Fluvine, a extremely de-tuned string whose pitch is modified throughout. 

Dynamic Range: pp-ff
Difficulty: 1
Special Notes: See suggested limits .
