 Q: How do I select a skin for the player?
 A: Press [Ctrl]+[F12] on the control board (when music is stopped). Please see folksSC.html
    (under folksSC directory) for more information.

 Q: What does the small button next to [Mute] button mean?
 A: There are 2 buttons for mute melody. The [Mute] button turns off the channel with maximal certainty.
    The smaller button shows the number of channels with the threshold certainty (see Settings).
    If this button is down the mute function will turn off the displayed number of channels.

 Q: Which mute mode should I use?
 A: The 2nd button is used for multiple melody channels. Sometimes there are speech parts (no melody)
    in a song which causes too low certainty. In those cases, you still can TRY with the [Mute] button only.
    It will mute the channel with maximal certainty while a zero is shown on the 2nd button.
