+##### music visualizer #####
+##
+## In order to make music visualizer work with MPD you need to use the fifo
+## output. Its format parameter has to be set to 44100:16:1 for mono
+## visualization or 44100:16:2 for stereo visualization. As an example here is
+## the relevant section for mpd.conf:
+##
+## audio_output {
+##        type            "fifo"
+##        name            "Visualizer feed"
+##        path            "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
+##        format          "44100:16:2"
+## }
+##
+## If the visualization on occasion diverges from the audio output, please set
+## 'buffer_time' parameter of your audio output in mpd.conf to '100000' (100ms)
+## or less to prevent that from happening.
+##
+## Note: If you're using Mopidy, an address of a udpsink gstreamer's output is
+## also accepted. For example, the following section in mopidy.conf:
+##
+## [audio]
+## output = tee name=t ! queue ! autoaudiosink t.
+##        ! queue ! audio/x-raw,rate=44100,channels=2,format=S16LE
+##        ! udpsink host=localhost port=5555
+##
+## will make localhost:5555 available as a source of data for the stereo
+## visualizer.

+
+##### song format #####
+##
+## If you want to make sure that a part of the format is displayed only when
+## certain tags are present, you can archieve it by grouping them with brackets,
+## e.g. '{%a - %t}' will be evaluated to 'ARTIST - TITLE' if both tags are
+## present or '' otherwise.  It is also possible to define a list of
+## alternatives by providing several groups and separating them with '|',
+## e.g. '{%t}|{%f}' will be evaluated to 'TITLE' or 'FILENAME' if the former is
+## not present.
+##
+## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just put the
+## appropriate number between % and character that defines tag type, e.g. to
+## make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'.
+##
+## In addition, formats support markers used for text attributes.  They are
+## followed by character '$'. After that you can put:
+##
+## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
+## - 1 - black
+## - 2 - red
+## - 3 - green
+## - 4 - yellow
+## - 5 - blue
+## - 6 - magenta
+## - 7 - cyan
+## - 8 - white
+## - 9 - end of current color
+## - b - bold text
+## - u - underline text
+## - r - reverse colors
+## - a - use alternative character set
+##
+## If you don't want to use a non-color attribute anymore, just put it again,
+## but this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute character,
+## e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag or filename with
+## reversed colors.
+##
+## If you want to use 256 colors and/or background colors in formats (the naming
+## scheme is described below in section about color definitions), it can be done
+## with the syntax $(COLOR), e.g. to set the artist tag to one of the
+## non-standard colors and make it have yellow background, you need to write
+## $(197_yellow)%a$(end). Note that for standard colors this is interchangable
+## with attributes listed above.
+##
+## Note: colors can be nested.
+##
+## For a song format you can use:
+##
+## %l - length
+## %f - filename
+## %D - directory
+## %a - artist
+## %A - album artist
+## %t - title
+## %b - album
+## %y - date
+## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
+## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
+## %g - genre
+## %c - composer
+## %p - performer

+## (width of the column)[color of the column]{displayed tag}
+##
+## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to have fixed size, add
+## 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a} will be the column that take 10% of
+## screen (so the real width will depend on actual screen size), whereas
+## (10f)[white]{a} will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen
+## is.
+##
+## - color is optional (if you want the default one, leave the field empty).
+##
+## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
+## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
+##
+## - r - column will be right aligned
+## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
+##
+## You can also:
+##
+## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes, separated with
+##   character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you right aligned column of lengths
+##   named "Length".
+##
+## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case predecessor is
+##   empty in a way similar to the one in classic song format, i.e. using '|'
+##   character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner} creates column named "Owner" that tries to
+##   display artist tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are not
