+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+\fBaubiotrack\fP attempts to detect beats, the time where one would intuitively be
+tapping his foot.
+.PP
+When started with an input \fIsource\fP (\fB-i\fP/\fB--input\fP), the detected beats are given
+on the console, in seconds.
+.PP
+When started without an input \fIsource\fP, or with the jack option (\fB-j\fP/\fB--jack\fP),
+\fBaubiotrack\fP starts in jack mode.
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
+starting with two dashes (--). A summary of options is included below.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-i\fP, \fB--input\fP \fIsource\fP
+Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and
+compressed are supported, depending on how aubio was built.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-o\fP, \fB--output\fP \fIsink\fP
+Save results in this file. The file will be created on the
+model of the input file. Beats are marked by a short wood-block like sound.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-r\fP, \fB--samplerate\fP \fIrate\fP
+Fetch the input \fIsource\fP, resampled at the given
+sampling \fIrate\fP. The \fIrate\fP should be specified in Hertz as an integer. If 0,
+the sampling \fIrate\fP of the original \fIsource\fP will be used. Defaults to 0.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-B\fP, \fB--bufsize\fP \fIwin\fP
+The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length
+of the window used for spectral and temporal computations. Defaults to 512.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-H\fP, \fB--hopsize\fP \fIhop\fP
+The number of samples between two consecutive analysis.
+Defaults to 256.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-s\fP, \fB--silence\fP \fIsil\fP
+Set the silence threshold, in dB, under which the pitch
+will not be detected. A value of \fB-20.0\fP would eliminate most onsets but the
+loudest ones. A value of \fB-90.0\fP would select all onsets. Defaults to \fB-90.0\fP.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-m\fP, \fB--mix-input\fP
+Mix \fIsource\fP signal to the output signal before writing to
+\fIsink\fP.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-f\fP, \fB--force-overwrite\fP
+Overwrite output file if it already exists.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-j\fP, \fB--jack\fP
+Use Jack input/output. You will need a Jack connection
+controller to feed aubio some signal and listen to its output.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-N\fP, --\fImiditap-note\fP
+Override note value for MIDI tap. Defaults to 69.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-V\fP, \fB--miditap-velop\fP
+Override velocity value for MIDI tap. Defaults to 65.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-T\fP, \fB--timeformat\fP format
+Set time format (samples, ms, seconds). Defaults to
+seconds.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-h\fP, \fB--help\fP
+Print a short help message and exit.
+.TP
+.B
+\fB-v\fP, \fB--verbose\fP
+Be verbose.
+.SH BEAT TRACKING METHODS
