A little help tuning
Find the note: pluck about once each second and make small turns until the reading reaches green. Green means you are close, not finished.
Do the three-pluck check: pluck three more times and watch the trail. If most readings drift to one side, make one tiny adjustment and count three again. Move on when the three plucks average around the center line.
If you are not sure where to start: tap the string to hear its note. Match it by ear, then turn Auto Detect back on to finish.
Stop tightening if a string feels unusually tight. Check the selected instrument, tuning, and string before continuing.
