+<p>
+  Ardour offers two modes for connecting automation control points: <kbd
+  class=menu>Discrete</kbd> and <kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd>. The mode is
+  changed by a right click on the automation lane header and choosing the
+  mode from the mode menu.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  <kbd class=menu>Discrete</kbd> mode has stair steps between each point on the
+  automation track. This is useful for on-off automation like mute or sustain
+  pedal (on a piano MIDI track).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  When recording automation via MIDI (for example a pitch bend from a keyboard),
+  Ardour always uses discreet mode.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  <kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd> mode has straight lines betwen each point on the
+  automation track. This is useful for gradual shifts in automation lanes,
+  such as gradual increase in volume on the fader.
+
+  Linear is the default mode for most automation lanes created via mouse input
+  (versus recording via MIDI).
