You need a pitch detector that has enough of a percentage accuracy to
be meaningful.  That means, you have to test the accuracy of the pitch
detector or your results will be meaningless.  If you want to measure
pitch variations of less than a semitone, then you need to demonstrate
that your pitch detector is that accurate.  Be prepared for outliers
and subharmonics.
