when I first change a string set, I do tune up a little, less than one step. I don't think it helps much with the stretching but I always seem to do it.
My own thoughts on this are that about the time the strings have settled down, it is almost time to change them anyway.
We play retirement homes or care centers primarily and I don't care how settled your strings are, if you go from outside air temp to the warm, humid air in one of those places, you will be tuning after each song...just the nature of the beast
