Yep, this seems like the typical process. As the video mentions others use different useable heights.

I cannot find the heights reference on this forum. I had copied this into a word document that I keep my building notes on:
McCreed’s 1st string Action:
"The measurements I aim for are: .008" on the E/A; .006" D/G and .004" B/E. Some people set a different height for each string to create a more true radius (eg: .008; .007; 006 so on...) but my stepped method works for me."

Hopefully this is not a misquote!
