Specifying the Temperament Key
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need
to specify the Temperament Key for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or
to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a
Temperament Key.
