+
+Usage - C++
+-----------
+
+**STEP 1**
+
+Include the BTrack header file as follows:
+
+	#include "BTrack.h"
+	
+**STEP 2**
+
+Instantiate the algorithm by one of the following:
+
+	// to use the default 512 hop size and 1024 frame size
+	BTrack b; 
+
+or:	
+
+	// to specify a hop size (e.g. 512) and have a frame size of 2 x the hop size
+	BTrack b(512); 
+	
+or:
+
+	// to specify both the hop size and frame size
+	BTrack b(512,1024);
+	
+**STEP 3.1 - Audio Input**
+
+In the processing loop, fill a double precision array with one frame of audio samples (as determined in step 2): 
+
+	double *frame; 
+	
+	// !
+	// do something here to fill the frame with audio samples
+	// !
+
+and then call:
+
+	b.processAudioFrame(frame);
+	
+and to check for beats, simply call:
+
+	if (b.beatDueInCurrentFrame())
+	{
+		// do something on the beat
+	}
+
+**STEP 3.2 - Onset Detection Function Input**	
+
+The algorithm can process onset detection function samples. Given a double precision onset detection function sample called 'newSamples', at each step, call:
+
+	b.processOnsetDetectionFunctionSample(newSample);
+	
+and then check for beats with:
+
+	if (b.beatDueInCurrentFrame())
+	{
+		// do something on the beat
+	}
