-Plugin to calculate comparative tuning of recordings
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-This plugin estimates the tuning frequency ("concert-A") of one or
-more recordings, by comparing against with a "reference" recording of
-the same music that has a known tuning frequency. It was designed for
-the purpose of identifying the tuning frequency of an unknown
-recording in difficult cases, such as where A is tuned more than a
-semitone below 440Hz.
-
-The reference could be another performance made at a known tuning
-frequency or, for example, an audio rendering from MIDI at A=440Hz.
-
-For the plugin to establish the tuning frequency correctly, the two
-recordings must be in the same key. Alternatively, you can use this
-plugin to estimate the pitch difference between two recordings played
-in different keys - where the result will consist of the difference
-attributable to key plus any difference in tuning.
-
-The plugin expects to receive two or more different recordings of the
-same piece of music as its channels of input; the first channel will
-be taken as the reference, and the remaining channels will be
-individually compared against it. (You can provide this channel layout
-using the --multiplex option in Sonic Annotator, for example.)  If you
-feed it a single piece of music, you won't get anything worthwhile.
-
-Example usage:
-
-$ export VAMP_PATH=.  # if running from the build directory
-
-$ sonic-annotator -m -d vamp:tuning-difference:tuning-difference:tuningfreq PreludeInCMajorBWV846.mp3 BWV846Egarr.mp3 -w csv --csv-stdout --csv-omit-filename
-
-Here the first file is a MIDI rendering using a piano sample at 440Hz,
-and the second is a harpsichord recording tuned with A=397Hz. After
-processing, this prints
-
-0.000000000,397.009

+Tuning Difference Plugin
+========================
+
+### A Vamp plugin to calculate comparative tuning of recordings
+
+ * Home page and downloads: https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/tuning-difference
+ * Linux and macOS CI build: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cannam/tuning-difference.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cannam/tuning-difference)
+
+This [Vamp plugin](http://vamp-plugins.org/) estimates the tuning
+frequency ("concert-A") of one or more recordings, by comparing
+against with a "reference" recording of the same music that has a
+known tuning frequency. It was designed for the purpose of identifying
+the tuning frequency of an unknown recording in difficult cases, such
+as where A is tuned more than a semitone below 440Hz.
+
+The reference could be another performance made at a known tuning
+frequency or, for example, an audio rendering from MIDI at A=440Hz.
+
+For the plugin to establish the tuning frequency correctly, the two
+recordings must be in the same key. Alternatively, you can use this
+plugin to estimate the pitch difference between two recordings played
+in different keys - where the result will consist of the difference
+attributable to key plus any difference in tuning.
+
+The plugin expects to receive two or more different recordings of the
+same piece of music as its channels of input; the first channel will
+be taken as the reference, and the remaining channels will be
+individually compared against it. (You can provide this channel layout
+using the `--multiplex` option in Sonic Annotator, for example.)  If
+you feed it a single piece of music, you won't get anything
+worthwhile.
+
+### Example
+
+Example usage from the command line using [Sonic
+Annotator](https://vamp-plugins.org/sonic-annotator/):
+
+```
+$ export VAMP_PATH=.  # if running from the build directory
+
+$ sonic-annotator -m -d vamp:tuning-difference:tuning-difference:tuningfreq PreludeInCMajorBWV846.mp3 BWV846Egarr.mp3 -w csv --csv-stdout --csv-omit-filename
+```
+
+Here the first file is a MIDI rendering using a piano sample at 440Hz,
+and the second is a harpsichord recording tuned with A=397Hz. After
+processing, this prints
+
+```
+0.000000000,397.009
+```
