+.SH NAME
+rubberband \- an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting utility program
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBrubberband\fR [ \fB\fIoptions\fB\fR ] [ \fB\fIinput file\fB\fR ] [ \fB\fIoutput file\fB\fR ]
+
+.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.
+.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)
+.TP
+\fB-p, --pitch \fIX\fB\fR
+Raise pitch by \fIX\fR semitones, or
+.TP
+\fB-f, --frequency \fIX\fB\fR
+Change frequency by multiple \fIX\fR
+.PP
+The following option provides a simple way to adjust the
+sound.  See below for more details.
+.TP
+\fB-n, --crisp \fIN\fB\fR
+Crispness (N = 0,1,2,3,4,5); default 4 (see below)
+.PP
+The remaining options fine-tune the processing mode and
+stretch algorithm.  These are mostly included for test purposes;
+the default settings and standard crispness parameter are
+intended to provide the best sounding set of options for most
+situations.
+.TP
+\fB-P, --precise\fR
+Aim for minimal time distortion (implied by -R)
+.TP
+\fB-R, --realtime\fR
+Select realtime mode (implies -P --no-threads)
+.TP
+\fB--no-threads\fR
+No extra threads regardless of CPU and channel count
+.TP
+\fB--threads\fR
+Assume multi-CPU even if only one CPU is identified
+.TP
+\fB--no-transients\fR
+Disable phase resynchronisation at transients
+.TP
+\fB--bl-transients\fR
+Band-limit phase resync to extreme frequencies
+.TP
+\fB--no-peaklock\fR
+Disable phase locking to peak frequencies
+.TP
+\fB--no-softening\fR
+Disable large-ratio softening of phase locking
+.TP
+\fB--window-long\fR
+Use longer processing window (actual size may vary)
+.TP
+\fB--window-short\fR
+Use shorter processing window
+.TP
+\fB--thresh \fIN\fB \fIF\fB\fR
+Set internal freq threshold \fIN\fR (N = 0,1,2) to \fIF\fR Hz
+.TP
+\fB-d, --debug \fIN\fB\fR
+Select debug level (N = 0,1,2,3); default 0, full 3
+(N.B. debug level 3 includes audible ticks in output)
+.TP
+\fB-q, --quiet\fR
+Suppress progress output
+.TP
+\fB-h, --help\fR
+Show a list of available options
+.PP
+Crispness levels:
+.TP
+\fB0\fR
+equivalent to --no-transients --no-peaklock --window-long
+.TP
+\fB1\fR
+equivalent to --no-transients --no-peaklock
+.TP
+\fB2\fR
+equivalent to --no-transients
+.TP
+\fB3\fR
+equivalent to --bl-transients
+.TP
+\fB4\fR
+default processing options
+.TP
+\fB5\fR
+equivalent to --no-peaklock --window-short (may be suitable for drums)
