💅 Solfege(1) — the manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, this is the Solfege(1) manual page and i'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

solfege — GPL'ed ear training software ✨ like, literally a program that trains your ears, and it's GPL'ed, no cap 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

solfege [options]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it some [options], it does its thing 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

GNU Solfege is a program that lets you use your computer to do ear training. yes bestie, your computer is now your music teacher 🎧✨ main character energy fr fr

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). here's every single one, i'm not skipping a crumb 🍓

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic "wait what does this do again" button, we love her 💖
  • -v, --version — the version one ✨ (the original literally gives no description here, so i'm not gonna invent one, iykyk 😌)
  • -w, --warranty — Show warranty and copyright. the legal tea ☕👀
  • --no-splash — Do not show the startup window. skip the little intro, straight to business 💅
  • --verbose-sound-init — Display more info about the sound setup. it will tell you things about your audio, and honestly? obsessed 🔥
  • --no-sound — Do not play any sounds. Instead some data is printed to standard output. Use this for debugging and porting. so it's silent but it's yapping to stdout instead 😭
  • --debug — Include features used by the Solfege developers to debug the program. --debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL Valid debug values are: debug, info, warning, error, critical. the nerd tier list, basically 🧚
  • --disable-exception-handler — Disable the exception handling in Gui.standard_exception_handler. bold move bestie, no safety net 🙈
  • --no-random — For debugging only: Select questions from lesson files in sequential order. no shuffle, just one after another, in order, like a well-behaved student ✨
  • --show-gtk-warnings — Show GtkWarnings and PangoWarnings in the traceback window. all the warnings, out in the open, no hiding 🌈
  • -P PROFILE — Start with <profile>. Create the profile if it does not exist. new profile? it'll just make one for you, so generous 🎀
  • --make-screenshots — Create or update the screenshots for the user manual. Intended for developers of this program. very "i'm the photographer of this friend group" energy 📸
  • -l LESSONFILE, --run-lessonfile=LESSONFILE — Start lesson file. Example: -l solfege:lesson-files/chord-min-major. load a specific lesson and go straight in 💜

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • /etc/solfege — if solfege is installed into /usr, or {prefix}/etc/solfege in all other cases. System administrators can override the values in the default.config file. The most obvious values you might want to change is the sound setup. so like, this is the system-wide config spot, and the sound setup is the thing you'll probably wanna touch first 🔊
  • ~/.solfegerc — This file is used to store most configuration values. While it is possible to edit the file by hand, everything you need can and should be done from the gui. so like... don't hand-edit it, the gui has your back bestie, trust 💅
  • ~/.solfege — Statistics is stored in subdirectories below this dir. all your progress lives down in there 📊🌸
