Verse and measure Counter/Looper
Christof
I would like the possibility to merge measures to a verse. This would allow me to quickly copy paste a song together. Further more it would be handy to then have the possibility to repeat/loop a verses individually for i in range. To make this very handy i would like a counter (like the one we have in loop mode) which tells me in which Measure i am in a 4/4 or 5/4 etc. measure.
Why you ask. For me thats the most difficult problem i have when playing with my Band. We are all beginners to say the least. And we struggle the most in Counting where we are.
This App is almost there… Extremely Cool would be a big Counter with good visibility.

Hello Christof and welcome to the community! I'm excited to receive your feedback.
I think some of the features you've mentioned here are already accounted for. Please check out the following enhancement requests and add your vote to these:

Re: "Extremely Cool would be a big Counter with good visibility." Would you be referring to the existing counter when looping meaures or beats? Or the counter for looping in general?
I have a vast vision for Beat Note and there's still a lot more to come! Thank you for joining me on this journey! Warmly, Derek

Hi Derek. Ive already upvoted those similar suggestions. Thanks for highlighting it.
RE: The Counter i've mentioned should count like a Metronome. Let's assume i have a upbeat which is 2 times 8/8. The Counter / Metronome is then counting 2 measures in row at 8/8 and when finish shows it as, lets say a full bar. After that we have 8 measures at 4/4 before we transition to a refrain 4times 4/4. And so on.
The Counter actually gives a visual indication of when the specific verse is going to transition to the next. I hope i could explain it better this time.
This may does not exist for a good reason.
May its to complicate to code or may not possible at all. Or may im the only dude struggling with counting. lol
But it's the most common reason we have to restart a song because we lost track of where we are.
Anyway il find your app very handy as of right now.

Christof Thanks for the additional details! I think this falls under both looping and the song chart structure enhancements. As you mentioned, BN doesn't currently support this functionality. I believe it is definitely possible to do - it's a combination of both the code that needs to be written and ensuring the design is intuitive and simple to use.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
