<p>
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 &gt; Preferences &gt; GUI &gt;
Show tooltip if mouse hovers over a control</kbd>.
