Sniffing hide glue??? I just thought I have a bad cold!
On a more serious note (pun intended); the notes in the available gpx standard tuning notation appear to be correct but the sonority is different than in the tuning Shun Komatsubara used to compose the piece. One obvious example is the 3rd of the tonic chord, a critical melody note, is an open string in the alternate tuning in which Kujira was conceived. Also, the notes B & D (C# & E with the capo on 2nd fret) played on open strings create a much more resonant chordal effect than a stopped note with an open string. As well, the notes and chords fall under the left fingers more easily in the alternate tuning (DADF#BD).
