+		<h3>Known problems</h3>
+		<p>
+		In some systems closing and reopening the visualization results in a crash. This is

+					<li>Show Piano: Whether to show the virtual piano in the visualization scene. Currently drawing the piano is very expensive, so it is not recommended to enable this unless you have a beefy computer.</li>
 					<li>3D Notes: 2D notes are used when this is unchecked. Using 2D notes is less resource-hungry.</li>
 					<li>Arrange channels on a stair: If checked, virtual pianos will be arranged on a stair-like shape. This option has no effect if virtual piano is not shown.</li>
 					<li>Show channel labels: If checked, channel preset will be shown on the left side.</li>
 					<li>Show particles: Whether to draw particles. Very resource-intensive!</li>
 					<li>Horizontal Visualization: Uses a horizontal visualization style. Overrides everything above except 3D Notes.</li>
