Moveable Lambdoma keyb. rgn
Lets one move the 8 by 8 playing region around within the Lambdoma...

Make sure you have Num Lock on first when you use this option, as it requires the Num pad keys.

Try this out with the 16 by 16 lambdoma for instance. If you select this option, you can use the Num pad arrow keys to move your 8 by 8 playing region wherever you like in the display area.

You can also show the ordinary 8 by 8 quadrants and move them around in the infinite Lambdoma using the arrow keys next to the keyboard. However this other way of doing it lets one show a larger region of the keyboard with the playing region highlighted within it.

You can use both methods in fact - the arrow keys will still work too. They move the entire display region rather than just the playing region within it.

For the PC keyboard see Rectangular Scale | Moveable PC kbd region.

Set up Score
Sets up a special score for the Lambdoma...

This shows the notes played according to the row of the Lambdoma rather than according to pitch height, with a separate three line "staff" for each row of the eight by eight Lambdoma.

The gaps between the staffs are shown alternately as dashed lines and ledger lines.

It also works for the sixteeen by sixteen Lambdoma, this time you have two three line staffs for each row.

Tip: you can use the >> button in the Notes played as score window to show a larger version of this window.You can resize it and maximise it too of course, like the other FTS windows, but the larger version has smaller buttons in proportion so gives more space for the score.

Notes Played as Score
Shows the notes as you play them...

Tip: You can configure it to show note names, sol fa names, ratios, etc from the Tune Display window (Ctrl + 19)

It's meant just to give some feedback about note positions as you play. It can't be edited or saved, and you can only show your current playing, you can't move it back and forth to see earlier notes. To do all that properly would require a new program probably.

Auto set up score for new layout
Automatically sets up the special Lambdoma score to match the layout...

When selected, the score will change as appropriate whenever you change to another quadrant or the entire 16 by 16 Lambdoma or set up a custom Lambdoma region.

Some windows may have no help yet in which case the help icon is shown crossed out with a red line.

You can tell if a tool tip has extra help if it ends ... like this one.

Ctrl + F1 or Ctrl + click takes you to the list of keyboard shortcuts for Tune Smithy.

Alt + F1 or Alt + click (alternatively Caps lock physically held down + F1 or Click) takes you to the on-line page at the robertinventor.com web site about the current main window task - which gives a short introduction to it for newbies to the program. If there is no on-line page specific to a task, takes you to the main tune smithy page on the web site.

Since the help for Tune Smithy is currently a bit out of date and needs to be redone completely for the new 3.0 release, then you may find the on-line page for some of the newer tasks particularly useful.
