- By default, Ardour will show helpful <dfn>tooltips</dfn> about
- the purpose and use of each <abbr title="Graphical User
- Interface">GUI</abbr> element if you position the pointer
- over it and hover there for a short while.
- These little pop-up messages can be a good way to discover the
- purpose of many aspects of the GUI.
-</p>
-<p>
- Pop-ups can be distracting for experienced users, who may opt to
- disable them via <kbd class="optoff">Edit > Preferences > GUI >
- Show tooltip if mouse hovers over a control</kbd>.
