ERRATUMNote preview: GRID RECORDING or STEP EDIT?

§19 prints “[KEYBOARD] + [YES] when in GRID RECORDING mode) to preview a specific note”, while §10.3 documents the same combination as “When in STEP EDIT”. The two are reconcilable — §10.3.1 states STEP EDIT is part of GRID RECORDING mode — so the preview-note procedure records both readings instead of picking one.

Adjudicated in AUDIT.md + §10.3

Documented error in the printed manual. This project records contradictions instead of hiding them — the note stays in English, as all source-quoting content does.

Use the key combinations below to perform specific tasks quickly.
