I had some correspondence with Marshall Johns from Peterson about use of the istrobosoft app sweetener package
In brief, according to Marshall, you don't select the root note under 'temperament', and it's not 'automatic'
You have to use the 'transpose' function, which is not particularly intuitive but the specific example below should be sufficient to demonstrate how to use it.
(I should add, he also offered my money back if this doesn't work.)
Marshall said:
“The app will *not* automatically transpose the key. iStroboSoft features a transposition setting that will need to manually be adjusted before tuning. Each position represents one half-step.”
“Since the Sweetened setting is rooted in C and there is no root control present, if tuning a harmonica not in C, you will need to transpose the key to have the tuner adjust. The display will always read out like you're tuning a C harmonica, however. The transpose setting is simply a way to "trick" the app into doing what you need. Example, if tuning an "A" harmonica, set the transpose setting to TRANS -3 (Key: A). This will adjust iStroboSoft for this key and carry the respective Sweetened preset offsets with it. After transposing to the correct key, tune as you would normally."
