Garage Band Tuner

Howdy all,

Is there any way to call the Garage Band tuner, or at least to return the pitch that it picks up, into applescript applications? (This is without opening Garageband, of course :P) I don’t need to do anything with the pitch other than display it to the user. (Preferably in the same manner that Garageband does it, showing how close you are to the note)

I want to put a guitar tuner into XTab, but I can’t find any documentation, or scripting references, to the tuner to do so.

Thanks,
