I am confused about the half step down from lack of pressure. When I set intonation, I tune my two outer strings to normal pitch. It is still the same distance from nut to bridge, the string diameter is still the same and so the tension for tuning is the same whether a string has siblings or not. When I tighten other strings I do have to go back and tighten any strings that were tightened first, but I don't think it is from my top sinking.
