message mentioned above, so it is not printed anymore when this option is set,
unless the verbose logging is set. The main graphing area contains the
short-term loudness (3 seconds of analysis), and the gauge on the right is for
-the momentary loudness (400 milliseconds).
+the momentary loudness (400 milliseconds), but can optionally be configured
+to instead display short-term loudness (see @var{gauge}).
More information about the Loudness Recommendation EBU R128 on
@url{http://tech.ebu.ch/loudness}.
This parameter is optional and has a default value of -23LUFS as specified
by EBU R128. However, material published online may prefer a level of -16LUFS
(e.g. for use with podcasts or video platforms).

+@item gauge
+Set the value displayed by the gauge. Valid values are @code{momentary} and s
+@code{shortterm}. By default the momentary value will be used, but in certain
+scenarios it may be more useful to observe the short term value instead (e.g.
+live mixing).
