Can you demonstrate how to use Calculist to solve a specific problem? I tried the demo and expanded the items in the sample document. I saw examples of calculation! So I’d love to see examples of problem solving with Calculist.

Yes, checks out! Pro bluegrass banjo players can play 150-160 beats per minute, 4 notes per beat (16th notes), so that’s 10-11 notes per second max.

Thanks, this helps! > Surfboard actually builds on LibROSA for a few of its components (e.g. MFCCs) and its functionality (e.g. loading .wav files into memory). In that sense it is the same as LibROSA for a lot of their communal function
