-.SH NAME
-rubberband \- an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting utility program
-.SH SYNOPSIS

-
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-This manual page documents briefly the
-\fBrubberband\fR command.
-.PP
-Rubber Band is a program that permits you to change the

-with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of
-options is included below.
-.PP
-You must specify at least one of the following time and
-pitch ratio options.
-.TP
-\fB-t, --time \fIX\fB\fR
-Stretch to \fIX\fR times original
-duration, or
-.TP
-\fB-T, --tempo \fIX\fB\fR
-Change tempo by multiple \fIX\fR (equivalent to --time 1/X)

+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fBrubberband\fR [\fB\fIoptions\fR\fP] [\fB\fIinput file\fR\fP] [\fB\fIoutput file\fR\fP]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This manual page documents briefly the
+\fBrubberband\fR command.
+.PP
+Rubber Band is a program that permits you to change the
+tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of one
+another.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax,
+with long options starting with two dashes (`\-\-'). A summary of
+options is included below.
+.PP
+You must specify at least one of the following time and
+pitch ratio options.
+.IP "\fB-t\fP, \fB\-\-time\fP \fIX\fR" 10
+Stretch to \fIX\fR times original duration, or
+.IP "\fB-T\fP, \fB\-\-tempo\fP \fIX\fR" 10
+Change tempo by multiple \fIX\fR (equivalent to \-\-time 1/X), or
+.IP "\fB-T\fP, \fB\-\-tempo\fP \fIX\fR:\fIY\fR" 10
+Change tempo from \fIX\fR to \fIY\fR (same as \-\-time X/Y), or
+.IP "\fB-D\fP, \fB\-\-duration\fP \fIX\fR" 10
+Stretch or squash to make output file \fIX\fR seconds long
+.IP "\fB-p\fP, \fB\-\-pitch\fP \fIX\fR" 10
+Raise pitch by \fIX\fR semitones, or
+.IP "\fB-f\fP, \fB\-\-frequency\fP \fIX\fR" 10
+Change frequency by multiple \fIX\fR
+.PP
+The following options provide ways of making the time and frequency ratios
+change during the audio:
+.IP "\fB-M\fP, \fB\-\-timemap\fP \fIF\fR" 10
+Use file F as the source for time map
+.PP
+A time map (or key-frame map) file contains a series of lines, each with two
+sample frame numbers separated by a single space. These are source and
+target frames for fixed time points within the audio data, defining a varying
+stretch factor through the audio. When supplying a time map you must specify
+an overall stretch factor using \-t, \-T, or \-D as well, to determine the
+total output duration.
+.IP " \fB\-\-pitchmap\fP \fIF\fR" 10
+Use file F as the source for pitch map
+.PP
+A pitch map file contains a series of lines, each with two values: the input
+sample frame number and a pitch offset in semitones, separated by a single
+space. These specify a varying pitch factor through the audio. The offsets
+are all relative to an initial offset specified by the pitch or frequency
+option, or relative to no shift if neither was specified. Offsets are
+not cumulative. This option implies realtime mode (\-R) and also enables a
+high-consistency pitch shifting mode, appropriate for dynamic pitch changes.
+Because of the use of realtime mode, the overall duration will not be exact.
+.IP " \fB\-\-freqmap\fP \fIF\fR" 10
+Use file F as the source for freq map
+.PP
+A frequency map file is like a pitch map, except that its second column
+lists frequency multipliers rather than pitch offsets (like the difference
+between pitch and frequency options above)
+.PP
+The following options affect the sound manipulation and quality
+.IP "\fB-2\fP, \fB\-\-fast\fP" 10
+Use the R2 (faster) engine
+.PP
+This is the default (for backward compatibility) when this tool is invoked
+as "rubberband". It was the only engine available in versions prior to v3.0.
+.IP "\fB-3\fP, \fB\-\-fine\fP" 10
+Use the R3 (finer) engine
+.PP
+This is the default when this tool is invoked as "rubberband-r3". It almost
+always produces better results than the R2 engine, but with significantly
+higher CPU load.
+.IP "\fB-F\fP, \fB\-\-formant\fP" 10
+Enable formant preservation when pitch shifting
+.PP
+This option attempts to keep the formant envelope unchanged when changing
+the pitch, retaining the original timbre of vocals and instruments in a
+recognisable way.
+.IP "\fB-c\fP, \fB\-\-crisp\fP \fIN\fR" 10
+Crispness (N = 0,1,2,3,4,5); default 4 (see below)
+.PP
+This option only has an effect when using the R2 (faster) engine. See below
+for details of the different levels.
+.PP
+The remaining options fine-tune the processing mode and stretch algorithm.
+The default is to use none of these options.
+The options marked (2) currently only have an effect when using the R2 engine
+(see \-2, \-3 options above).
+.IP "\fB-R\fP, \fB\-\-realtime\fP" 10
+Select realtime mode (implies \-\-no-threads).
+This utility does not do realtime stream processing;
+the option merely selects realtime mode for the
+stretcher it uses
+.IP "\fB\-\-no-threads\fP" 10
+No extra threads regardless of CPU and channel count (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-threads\fP" 10
+Assume multi-CPU even if only one CPU is identified (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-no-transients\fP" 10
+Disable phase resynchronisation at transients (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-bl-transients\fP" 10
+Band-limit phase resync to extreme frequencies (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-no-lamination\fP" 10
+Disable phase lamination (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-smoothing\fP" 10
+Apply window presum and time-domain smoothing (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-detector-perc\fP" 10
+Use percussive transient detector (as in pre-1.5) (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-detector-soft\fP" 10
+Use soft transient detector (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-window-long\fP" 10
+Use longer processing window (actual size may vary) (R2)
+.IP "\fB\-\-window-short\fP" 10
+Use shorter processing window (with the R3 engine
+this is effectively a quick "draft mode")
+.IP "\fB\-\-pitch-hq\fP" 10
+In RT mode, use a slower, higher quality pitch shift
+.IP "\fB\-\-centre-focus\fP" 10
+reserve focus of centre material in stereo
+(at a cost in width and individual channel quality)
+.IP "\fB\-\-ignore-clipping\fP" 10
+Ignore clipping at output; the default is to restart
+with reduced gain if clipping occurs
+.IP "\fB-L\fP, \fB\-\-loose \fP" 10
+[Accepted for compatibility but ignored; always off]
+.IP "\fB-P\fP, \fB\-\--precise \fP" 10
+[Accepted for compatibility but ignored; always on]
+.IP "\fB-d\fP, \fB\-\-debug\fP \fIN\fR" 10
+Select debug level (N = 0,1,2,3); default 0, full 3
+(N.B. debug level 3 includes audible ticks in output)
+.PP
+The following options are for output control and administration:
+.IP "\fB-q\fP, \fB\-\-quiet\fP" 10
+Suppress progress output
+.IP "\fB-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP" 10
+Show version number and exit
+.IP "\fB-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP" 10
+Show the normal help output
+.IP "\fB-H\fP, \fB\-\-full-help\fP" 10
+Show the full help output
+.PP
+"Crispness" levels:
+.IP "0" 10
+equivalent to \-\-no-transients \-\-no-lamination \-\-window-long
+.IP "1" 10
+equivalent to \-\-detector-soft \-\-no-lamination \-\-window-long (for piano)
+.IP "2" 10
