[LAU] gxtuner trouble and alternatives

[Hermann Meyer]

You need to run jack in realtime mode to use gx_tuner. İf jack is already rt, try a higher level. Gx_tuner use a lower rt-level then jack, if jack use a to low level, the pitchtracker thread wont be finished in time.

Thanks Ralf, I tried lingot and it seems to be OK. Not as fancy looking
but it nicely shows notes, cents and frequency. No problem with jack
either. I still wonder what is wrong with gxtuner though.
