Yeah, I just meant "not what I expect" because I play primarily dobro now which uses GBDGBD. The tuning on the website is the correct open G tuning for guitar.

Awesome, i'll check out the github repo and add a PR if I think of something to add! Thanks for adding those! I'll keep an eye on the site.

For dobro open G, an octave is four strings up or down. IE, if i'm play an A on the 1st (highest tuned) string at the 7th fret, another A can be found at the 7th fret of the 4th string.

Between strings, the steps between the strings varies so it's harder to have a single rule there.

Cool, just added six-string dobro open D and open G (right now calling it "standard" because that's most common in bluegrass and I seem to have a bug that every instrument right now needs a tuning called "standard" but can't find it).

Just checked back and see it on the site, awesome! Can't wait to mess around with some open D tonight
