Setup the auxiliary keys: 
 
The auxiliary keys can be used - by pressing on the 
string 

– to play exact notes. Or they can be used just as 

visual markers, pressing the string without aux keys. 
 
The aux keys 

normally are used to mark the notes ‘c’, 

‘d’, ‘g’, ‘a’. 
If you prefer another notation, you can change them to 
your needs. 
 
You can move the aux keys to the left and right. So you 
can set them up to the notes using a tuner. Tuning is 
best done with filters off.
