The Grandke paper looks interesting based on your description. Since I am not a member of IEEE, I don't have a copy. Quite possibly a similar scheme was developed by Bruel and Kjear and reported by Randall as shown in the attachment. I have used the scheme for more accurate frequencies, but have not used the amplitude correction feature. Only used it in matlab however.
A quick note regarding the hanning, or any other window. Anders Brandt wrote a signal processing toolbox for matlab or octave called abravibe. This is an open source toolbox. A copy of his hanning window code is shown:
Code:
function w = ahann(N);
%AHANN Calculate a Hanning window
%
% w = ahann(N);
%
% w Hanning time window
%
% N Blocksize, length of w
%
% Calculates a (correct!) Hanning window with length(N), in a column
% vector. The ENBW is 1.5*df.

a0=.5;
a1=.5;
t=(0:pi/N:pi-pi/N)';
w=a0-a1*cos(2*t);
This would be the same as the matlab or octave hanning window with the 'periodic' option. This makes the window start with the first non zero term and end with a zero in the time domain. According to Anders (and his book) this is the correct way to do it. Realistically, I don't expect there to be much difference, but we might as well do it right if we have the option.
The hanning window from octave is:

I am interested in hearing back how the Bruel & Kjear technique for frequency line interpolation compares with the DerekR/Grandke10 one mentioned above. It may be identical?
