The stretch file selected is shown in the upper right
hand corner of the screen as STRCH = xxxx.
Resolution is shown on the second line as 00.0 ¢.
This indicates it is enhanced to be in 0.1 cent steps.

Use the PITCH UP and/or the PITCH DOWN Control to adjust the number of cents deviation from standard, Equal
Temperament tuning for the note C in Octave 0. You may enter this value with a precision of 1/10 of 1 cent. Having
reached the final note in the editing sequence, pressing either the #3 Function key (DONE) or the #4 Function key when
the displayed Stretch file value for Octave 0, Note C is correct will exit this procedure. The screen that follows requests
one final button input to actually save all settings for this STRCH File in permanent memory:

Whenever a stretch file is active under the RUN screen, an indication of the current octave (OCT) of scale note settings that
the unit is referencing from that stretch file is displayed on the third line of the LCD display. The current octave is
never automatically sensed but is chosen at the discretion of the user by pressing buttons "3" or "4" beneath the display.
Specifically, button "3" (OCT-) will decrement the octave setting (octave 7 through octave 0). If held continuously, it
will continue to decrement the setting shown on screen line 3, wrapping back around from OCT=0 to OCT=7. Conversely,
button "4" will increment the octave setting, eventually wrapping from OCT=7 to OCT=0.
14. COPYING AND MODIFYING (OR DELETING) AN EXISTING STRETCH FILE
Although this is a subset of the material above, proper explanation of the COPY/DELETE procedures calls for an
independent description. Sometimes it is easier and faster to copy and modify an existing stretch file than to create a whole
