Tuning questions

[MrBJones]

Couple of questions related to tuning a guitar:

1 - Is a guitar with higher action more likely to have intonation issues? Seems to me that fretting a string stretches it, so higher action would result in more strecthing.

2 - Is there any benefit or drawback when tuning with a Snark to use the octave harmnonics instead of open strings?

Thanks

1-Yes

2-Not that I've found, though I only do the low E string that way.

Not necessarily.

Higher than what?

There is a range of height that works a treat. It is very reasonably wide. Lower or higher than that range is problematic.
