Play the corresponding string, and <b>tune up or down</b> using the appropriate peg on your instrument. <b>Then use the Strobe view for fine-tuning</b>.

If you prefer to tune by ear, you can also use the tuner to play reference notes. The generated notes are based on the concert pitch frequency selected in the Settings.
The Strobe tuner is highly sensitive and is <b>best for fine-tuning</b>.
If the pattern moves to the left, it indicates that the <b>pitch is too low</b>, and you need to <b>tune up</b>:

The <b>Beats per minute (BPM)</b> indicator in the center of the screen displays the tempo of the metronome when started using the "Start/Stop" button.
The desired BPM can be set by scrolling or using the buttons next to the indicator.
The option to choose different time signatures (Beats per bar) and accents (Clicks per beat), located above the buttons, allows you to customize the metronome pattern for your practicing needs.
The <b>Start / Stop</b> button turns the clicking sound on or off as needed.
The button resumes the clicking from where it was last stopped, so if you configured four clicks per beat, and you stopped after the second click, it will continue with the remaining two clicks when started again.
The <b>Tap tempo</b> feature lets you set the metronome's tempo by tapping the button in time with the desired beat.
Tap the button to match the rhythm, and the metronome will adjust its BPM accordingly.
This feature provides a convenient and quick way to set the tempo without having to manually adjust the beats per minute value.
