Menu Options

Test length factorchoose test length factor - a number of questions in one test as a percent of a default test length (which is bigger for exercises with more testnotes and smaller for less testnotes).

  • 100=default length

  • 50= tests 2 times shorter than default

  • 200= tests 2 times longer than default

Choose level the same as
German/English notation

there are two conventions for how to call a note between 'A' and 'C': in England and US this note is called 'B'; in Germany (and most continental Europe) this note is called 'H'; this menuitem allows you to choose your convention

remark: to make it even more confusing, letter 'B' IS used in German notation :( - it denotes 'H flat'
Voice input / voice input on/off the same as
Voice input / microphone setup

This opens a 'Microphone calibration' - a wizard dialog which will guide you step-by-step through the initial microphone setup procedure.

Note, that on some soundcards mic setup does not recognize igain. You can still fine-tune this with some other programs (e.g. kmix). Hint: igain values about 10% are reasonable.

Voice input / Speaker model setup Choose this to record sound samples with which you will 'click' on namebuttons and steer this program.
Sound on/off the same as
Sound setup... opens sound setup window;

you can change here MIDI options (use it if you don't hear sound), change sounds' lengths, change midi patches ("instruments"); for details and suggestions see "What Is This?" tags in this window
Save options

saves program status to ~/.klearnnotes2_d/ ;

remark: options are saved on exit anyway; therefore, probably the only use for this menuitem is to save state before experimenting with sound/exercises etc. ; if you do something you want to reverse, just choose "Restore options" from options menu (BEFORE exiting the program)

Restore options

restore program status from ~/.klearnnotes2_d/ ; use this options if you want to start over from the program state in which it started this time or last saved (for example in case you mixed up some sound settings)

IMPORTANT: program state is saved on exit! if you really mix something up starting over would not help! to restore "factory defaults" ;) delete your ~/.klearnnotes2_d/klearnnotes2_config file
