Fergusito, I hear what you're saying. Three and a half years ago, the program was just meant to be the next step up from an ordinary "click-click" metronome, for a beginner to use in practising basic compás. It had to be reasonably simple to use. It was never intended to be a "backing track" machine or a "palmas" substitute. Just a simple metronome. I found that in the slower toques, a "contra" pulse helped define the tempo and could be a help to a new student. Since then I've had requests to upgrade it to bring in lots of new programmable features which are really cool. 1. Making the contra fully programmable. 2. Auto adjusting for changing beat 1 to beat 12 3. Larger window size. 4. Different style of buttons. 5. Speed in bpm rather than "Scottish time" 6. Finer control over speed. 7. Animated examples of playing overlaid with compas. 8. Footswitch stop/start. 9. Programmable change of speed in sections for Alegrias. 10. More comprehensive notes on compás with guitar examples. If I found the time to implement all of the above, then I could probably guarantee Worldwide sales of maybe 5 or 6 more to meet the demands of specialist users. If anyone is into software, then my advice is to get a job with a company who pays you every month, or if you want to be an independent, then start a porn site or a ripoff site, but never become a legitimate independent shareware author in a specialist field! You won't earn enough to pay for your tombstone! cheers Ron
