I guessed those. It reminded me a bit of when I got a facing after breaking a tooth

I don't know how usual this is, but the well in my resonator is sufficiently bigger than the cone that I can shift in addition to rotate the saddle to get almost spot-on intonation. (Easy to set too; just jack the strings up a bit with a pencil between them and the cover plate and voilą .)
