¥The second technique is to draw a ßat line segment across the duration
of a tone at the desired pitch and then use the Retune slider set in the
range 20 to 40. This has the effect of gently moving the pitch downwards
the desired pitch. The slower values of 20 to 40 will let through a vibrato
but still draw the overall pitch closer to being in tune. The average pitch
will eventually settle to the given line and the pitch gestures will occur
both sharper and...

another and you dont want to mess with continually adding and removing
tones from the scale.
In Graphical Mode, correcting pitch involves listening to a short passage
and making several attempts at a...
