+    <p>Green lines are <b>anchors</b>: "this MIDI moment = this recording moment". Between two anchors the MIDI's tempo is scaled so it fits;
+      the label under the lanes shows MIDI bpm → resulting bpm. <b>⚠</b> = a stretch changed by more than 5%; that usually means an anchor sits on the wrong bar.
+      Thick lines are your (manual) anchors, thin ones were placed automatically. Red-shaded 30 s windows fit poorly.</p>

+      <li><b>Click</b> the lanes to set the cursor (black line); click an anchor to select it. <b>Wheel</b> zooms around the mouse (Shift+wheel or a sideways swipe scrolls); <b>drag the background</b> to scroll.</li>
+      <li>Drag an anchor in the <b>Recording</b> lane to move it along the recording (the MIDI moment stays attached to it).
+        Drag it in the <b>MIDI audio</b> lane to slide the MIDI under it: the bit of MIDI you grabbed follows the mouse while the anchor stays at the same place in the recording.</li>
+      <li>Moving or adding an anchor removes the automatic anchors between your neighbouring anchors; <b>Auto-align around my anchors</b> fills them in again.</li>
