Another useful measuring device is a pair of calipers. This is especially helpful if you blow your reference up to painting size. You can measure the distance between the eyes on the reference and then move the calipers over to the painting. You don't even have to make a mental note that it's 17/20ths of an inch or anything like that.

Michele,
I don't understand how that works. If you are creating a canvas 2.5 times the size of your reference, how does the caliper know that.
With the method I use I only make measurements from the edge of the reference, I would rarely take internal measurements like between the eyes.
BTW - If I need a spreadsheet, because of some odd ratio of say 2.35, I only change that one determining factor in my spreedsheet then print it out.
