Does the string tension come into play for figuring compensation or is it just core wire diameter size and distance from the fretboard. The reason I am asking is I just put a set of EJ80's on my octave mandolin, and the typical mandolin compensation was off. The A string is wound, but the core is 0.012, the same as the E string. There is a difference in string tension according to the D'Addario package with the E at 18.59lbs and the A at 25.43 lbs.
