Tuning

Choose a fretted target layout

The translator labels exact and whole-octave alternatives and can order them by low strings, original register, or grip simplicity.

Positions follow the tuning order shown, including re-entrant layouts. Paired-course targets are deferred until fingering can model their shared courses; the workbench's current fretted instrument remains the source.
