Options

Main Menu → Options holds every audio and display setting:

  • Music / Metronome volume sliders.
  • Input lag slider — manually nudges the same offset Calibrating Input Lag sets automatically; the results screen after a scored song also offers a one-click “apply the measured offset” shortcut if your timing consistently reads early or late.
  • Microphone — a dropdown of every input device your system reports. A warning banner appears here (and nowhere else) if no working microphone is detected; see Troubleshooting.
  • Pitch detect — which pitch-detection algorithm to use (FFT, YIN, pYIN, MPM, or NMF), each with a short explanation of its trade-offs shown alongside the picker. The default works well for most setups; switch algorithms here if pitch detection feels unreliable for your particular mic/harmonica combination.
  • Note labels — swaps the up/down arrow on falling notes for the actual hole number, in both Play 2D and Play 3D.
  • Adaptive Difficulty — off by default; turns on gradual note unlocking for every song (see Playing a Song). One setting shared by every song, not picked per song — the pause menu’s own toggle during a song changes this same setting.
  • Fullscreen — borderless fullscreen on the current display.
  • Colorblind Palette — a fixed colorblind-safe blow/draw colour pair on the highway instead of the current theme’s note colours.
  • Reduced Motion — stills the decorative motion on the highway: the pop when a note is hit, the flowing animation on note tails and the shimmer on a held note. Notes keep scrolling as usual (that is the game), a missed note still shrinks — just immediately, without the movement into it — and the hit line never moves either way. On the skill tree, opening or closing a unit snaps straight to the new layout instead of animating.
  • Zoom — scales the whole interface.
  • Theme — opens the theme picker.
  • Lessons & songs — where your lessons and songs come from, and their updates: see Lessons & Songs.
  • Calibrate input lag — opens input-lag calibration.

All Options settings persist to disk automatically and apply the moment you change them — there’s no separate “Apply” or “Save” step.
