There's two modes: equal temperament, and just intonation. Each
exercise starts with the tonic of the key.
The intonation exercises are very simple, though -- 8 notes (well,
4 notes repeated), and only basic material. First position, major
and minor, and shifting from first to third position. Basically,
they're computer-gradede Sevcik exercises.
The details are in my thesis, available from the same webpage
under "download".
