The pitch name closest to the string appears
above the meters. Tune the string roughly until
the sound name that you want appears. Then,
fine tune the string until the rectangle at the
middle of the meter darkens, showing that the
string is in tune. If the pitch is too low, a bar
extends to the left of the middle and if it is too
high it extends to the right. The longer the bar is
the more out of tune the string is.
When the pitch is just right, the t and g to
the left and right of the pitch name appear
unblinking.
