FAQ

Which tunings are supported?

4-string (E1–A1–D2–G2), 5-string (low-B0 added), and 6-string (add C3 on top). The board adapts automatically.

Do you pitch-shift the samples?

No. Each cell expects its own file in /sounds3 (e.g., G2.wav, Gsharp2.wav, G#2.wav). This preserves tone.

My note doesn’t play—what should I check?

Most likely a filename mismatch. The player tries both symbol and word spellings, but the exact octave must exist.

What does Play Mode do?

Choose Asc (once), Asc→Desc (once), or Asc (loop). Tempo controls note rate; Stop instantly halts and clears highlights.

Left-handed view?

Yes. Toggle Left-Handed to flip the fretboard rows.
