Dude this rules awesome job! Only issue for me is that even in 1/2 speed its moving to fast for my eyes to focus on the numbers. So what I need is to have the lines separated like musical notation so that I can look down and read ahead and see the next line coming, without the numbers moving, so my eyes can focus. Pretty much everyone that reads music/tabs reads ahead of where they are actually playing its probably something you do subconsciously without realizing it but being unable to do so makes reading tabs much harder. Other then that this is really really cool!

If you zoom out, it's easier to see what's going on (although the numbers run together in the example given). I think a different default zoom for the demo might be helpful.

  Ahh yes thanks for the tip, this does make it a lot easier how foolish of me for not trying to zoom! The only issue I have now is that when you zoom out its harder to see the timing but perhaps thats more a problem with tabs then the implementation.

I was going to comment something very similar. I think perhaps the scrolling should default to "Paged" instead of "Autoscroll". It's hard to focus on a moving target and "Paged" feels more natural to me since that is how sheet music works. It allows you to look ahead without worrying about the upcoming notes moving.

  Completely agree. My 2 cents: Since an individual can only play one part at a time, rather than showing two scrolling parts, two pages of the same part should be shown. Initially, page 1 can be shown above page 2. The playhead is the only thing that moves, from the left of the screen to the right. Initially it moves across page 1. When it reaches the right side of the screen, it moves to the start of page 2, below and to the left. At that time, page 1 is replaced with page 3. This way the pages remain still, while allowing the user to progress through the song.
