Dear David,
I think you should read that part again... let me write it again:
"A great tuner, but I really need tips to use it, I'm still used to my
old needle tuner, I always used them and now all the flashing lights
confusing me. I read the instruction manual, it is great becuase now I
know how to change temperaments, cents, save, delete, backlight etc.
But I'm not really sure how to tune, the manual fails to explain it (at
least for me) in nice and clear way.
For now i don't care about flats and sharps, I just want it to tune,
when I'll get used to it, I'll think some more. But how, in the name of
the great Henry the VIII, I know if my string is tuned? So any one with
this nice tuner (and it really nice) please help me."

On the Finale list we say RTFM, which stands for Read the Finale
Manual, or the Friendly Manual, or ...
Power on.
Press Alt-Clear (to put it in default setting).
Press Chromatic Button (Puts it in Chromatic Mode).
Press Auto often enough (none, once or twice) to put it in Auto Mode.
Display should read:
D4 (or whatever other note)
Chromatic Auto
Pluck string.
The display will display the closest pitch it's hearing.
Tune up or down till you reach your desired pitch.
If the red lights turn with the clock, you're too high.
If the red lights turn against the clock, you're too low.
If you want 415Hz in stead of the default 440Hz:
Press Alt-A440 Change.
Press Note+ to move up by Hz.
Press Note- to move down by Hz.
Press Cents+ to move up by cents.
Press Cents- to move down by cents.
Finish with Alt.
Display will now show:
D4 A415,0
Chromatic Auto
Should be straightforward. For other settings: RTFM. ;-)
David
