comment didn't show even when I checked HTML. oh well.
I tested in excel and it works great. can do fractional scales to 0.00 (17.75 versus 17.76)
Be very handy for scales not found in standard template packs.

I know it’s completely different, but have you tried FretFind2D? It prints out a chart of fret positions in mathematical form as well as a 2 dimensional template with fret lines that fits on regular letter size paper? You just cut them in half & join them with tape to get a full size template? It even has some templates for popular maker guitars & other string instruments, you can also edit & save your custom templates within the program? But, not Mac/iOS compatible? Cheers :)

Excellent tool. It saves a tremendous amount of time and give one the flexibility to change length easily. I've attached a slightly different version that I use often. It has all the cells locked except desire scale length so I don't accidentally screw up. It shows both inch and MM lengths from the nut so you choose.

Thanks for sharing your tool.
