+<h2>The Loudness Graph</h2>
+
+<p>
+       At the top of the window, a loudness graph visually represents the
+       analysis. The x-axis represents the time, and the y-axis represents
+       the perceived loudness in <abbr title="Loudness Units referenced to 
+       Full Scale">LUFS</abbr>:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li><span style="color:green;">Integrated loudness</span> averaging the loudness on the whole session</li>
+       <li><span style="color:red;">Short loudness</span> using a sliding time window of 3 seconds</li>
+       <li><span style="color:blue;">Momentary loudness</span> using a sliding time window of 400 ms.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Normalization Parameters</h2>
+
 <p>
        As loudness is a perceived sonic energy, and depends on the level, frequency,
        duration and nature of the sound, this window allows to base the calculation
                hence the correction to apply</li>
 </ul>
 
-<p>
-       At the top of the window, a <kbd>Show Graphical Analysis</kbd> button
-       allows to visually represent the analysis with a graph in a very similar
-       window to the one in the Post-<a href="@@export-dialog">Export</a> analysis.
