Kalibrierung funktioniert bei mir auch nicht

Schade, nachdem ich die Tiefste und die hΓΆchste Taste definiere, scheint die App zu glauben, dass Piano stΓΌnde um 90 Β° gedreht.

So nΓΌtzt mir die App gar nicht. πŸ™

Please fix recalibration tool or make a YouTube video with instructions!

I was very interested in this app, and after I downloaded it, I tried to calibrate the dots. After 5 or 6 times trying and still not getting the dots in the right place (they appeared to be vertical), I resorted to a Google search to find out more instructions, to find nothing. Please fix this!
