These are great ideas, and I will implement them. In the original design, temporary harmony changes (hold-and-release) was the feature of the thumb keys, but there are no thumb keys here, huh. It's necessary to have stateful harmonic c

State tracking is up. Fundamental = product of (prime)^(number of squares in the row), where the blue squares are 2, green 3, yellow 5, red 7. Let me know if this interface can be improved, such as by bolder colors or better explanations. I

There's a desktop version which I unfortunately don't have the time to get in release state, but I'll release the source code for everything eventually (maybe months later).

Showing the internal state is a pretty good idea. I'll see if I can port over my visualization from my desktop version; it'll show the absolute pitches of the notes on a real number line, and how many powers there are of each prim

Yes, there's a secret music generation project if you can find it. If you are asking this without knowing about that secret project, that's a very deep insight.

Thanks to you asking why it's right to left instead of left to right, I have the opportunity to talk about some interesting design decisions. I agree there should be an organized pattern. For example, 1-30 lexographically. So I'll

If you know your chord's format in just intonation, there's a (not-so-)secret converter. Type in "play_on_keyboard('4-5-6 15/2 12 10 20/3')" in the F12 console to produce fingering and play it on the

I'm not sure we're looking at the same thing, but I fixed an issue with the just intonation transcription. Now, the largest non-transient deviation from 440 Hz scale is 0.14 semitones, caused by Debussy modulating by a third (5&#x

So, there are two things currently going on with the Debussy example. The first is, yes, some of the notes from Debussy are actually poorly playable on the piano. One is this: https://i.imgur.com/K0Wuu3Q.png . This is a visu

Unfortunately, I won't have time to expand on this project unless someone hires me to work on it. For now, it's just to educate people and let them copy it.

On a non-VRR display, I believe it's nicer to have a momentary tearline near the top of the screen than a momentary frame skip. The stutter is more noticeable than the tearline. (Some feature of how GPUs work means that tearlines landi

This timer works well on Firefox. It has no issues with network unreliability or time changes.

This is an unacceptable timer. It loads an mp3 and js file when the timer completes. If the internet is not reliable at that moment, the timer will silently fail. Positive: at least it will still ring if the timer skips over the exact secon

One interpretation is that it is very hard to extract value from the nudge literature. When reading research articles, one must estimate and adjust for biases. This adjustment shifts the p-values by unclear amounts. So a positive result may

Big warning: their summary is "Among high-legibility fonts, a study found 35% difference in reading speeds between the best and the worst." This is completely wrong and comes from an abuse of statistics. See the original research
