Introduction

	The Musician's Best Friend is a tool made to help you tune your
	instrument, but it also supports a metronome. It also has its own
	build in screen saver which goes on after 1 minute.

Installation

	You can put the program in any folder and on any partition. It
	works on as far as I know any Atari in ST HIGH res, if you wish
	it will start in other resolutions but don't say it didn't warn
	you!

Copyright 

	The Musician's Best Friend is FREEWARE, which means that you can
	copy it and spread it as much as you like as long as you DO NOT
	charge anyone for it!

Let's take a closer look at the program!

	In the upper left corner of the program you have the volume
	control, the quit button, the logo button and the play/tune mode
	buttons. With the play and tune mode buttons you can select which
	mode you like to use the piano in. If you choose play mode you
	can play with the piano in a normal way, if you choose tune mode
	you just need to click at one of the keys to hear the
	corresponding sound, if you then click at another key you will
	hear that sound instead. If you want some pease and quiet you
	have to click at last used key ones more.

	In the upper right corner you have the metronome. The buttons
	with Italian words on are fast buttons that you can use to
	quickly set your prefered tempo. If you click in the square that
	contains the digits for the current tempo you can use the keybord
	to set the tempo, press <RETURN> when you are done.

	The two buttons with arrows on you can use to transpose the
	octaves on the piano, in this way you have complete access to the
	sound-chip.
