Bob, you must be talking about PitchLab, not Cleartune. In this case, 
swipe until you see a keyboard, which will play pitches that you can 
match. Or swipe until you find one of the meters--there are two circular 
ones, and a square one that looks like a very bad rainstorm. I like 
either of the circular ones. Vallotti is not a supported temperament, 
which I think was done to annoy anyone who wants Vallotti. There are 
many other temperaments there that are useful and "better" than 
Vallotti. Vallotti is great for flat keys but pretty terrible for sharp 
keys, and it is rather late. ANYWAY, you can always add it to the list 
yourself.
