Allow each measure to have its own custom repeat count, rather than applying one repeat value across a whole passage. For example, a user might want beat one to play once, beat two to repeat four times, beat three to repeat three times, and beat four to play once, all within the same exercise. This would help users avoid relying on repeat signs (%) to represent this kind of variation, since that requires notating out the full score.

Love the app and appreciate the % style repeat-measure feature being added, and I also just voted for the enhancement to said feature of creating the option to add a number over the repeat symbol for multiple measures. That would be super helpful for writing charts! But for teaching, sometimes I want to visually show consecutive measures of the same pattern without the app defaulting to filling in those repeated measures automatically with the % repeat symbol. It would be great if, when selecting a “duplicate” option, there was a sub option of “use repeat symbol vs. view notation,” and then if “%” is selected offer a sub option of “show single measure with % symbol and a number vs. show every measure with % symbol. Additional user feedback: "my preference would be to specify how I want it to look (particularly for PDF exports) but like the idea that the reader can override that potentially. Have you heard of Soundslice? It allows the creator to set default display options with the option for the user to change them. Works quite well"

It would be nice to be able to notate quarter note triplets. And also be able to notate ghost notes on toms

The biggest limitation I'm experiencing with Beat Note currently is the limitation of only one-bar exercises on a worksheet. Support for multi-bar exercises, or 'phrasing' would be huge. 2 bar phrasing - a kick pattern that repeats over 2 bars. Or writing out a drum fill from a beat, where the full phrase may be 4 bars long. Being able to write exercises up to 8 bars would be ideal (or really any multiple - the layout wouldn't change, but each exercise and the labeling of them would just become multi-line - perhaps 4 bars per line - This could be accomplished dynamically). Perhaps the UI could support 4 bars per row, and if an exercise is 8 bars then it would just consume 2 lines, 16 would consume 4 lines, etc.. I can currently kind of work around this by using the sheet music mode and exporting pdf at 4 bars per line, then noting the exercise numbers manually after export... but then you dont get the playback features 'per exercise' and the time signature/staff markings aren't consistent on subsequent exercises, nor are the 'exercises' numbered since its a sheet music beat. One bar exercise is great for beginner lessons, notes, etc, but it becomes a limitation very quickly.

I'd like to be able to add rhythm counting anywhere in the subdivision even if there is no note. Some ideas include: Adding rhythm counts all subdivisions even if all notes are not present Adding rhythm counts to all notes and rests Adding rhythm counts in parenthesis for rests or non-note postions, e.g. (1) (e) (&) (ah)

It would be great to be able to notate rhythms in a single beat that consist of both triplet and even-note subdivisions. For example: a rhythm consisting of two 16th-notes followed by a 16th-note triplet.

When exporting a video, I'd like the option to include the drum and click audio. Audio options when exporting videos should be similar to the options available when exporting an audio file. Additional user feedback: "This would be really useful for teaching"

Hi Derek, it would be very helpful, if you could add a title-input-field to each exercise of the ’Single Measures Worksheet‘ (and maybe in the future to other types of worksheets) like the attached mockup-example. It seems, the area right of the exercise-number is empty and not used. Warm regards Hinrich Additional user feedback: "Exercise titles or annotations would be useful for worksheets or charts. Here's an example of a worksheet with annotations that I had to hand! Being able to add verse/ chorus labels or rehearsal marks would also be useful. Would annotation/title box with styling options (to match the function of the annotation) work? Ideally I'd like to be able to add an annotation above any measure if possible (not just the beginning or a line, for example)."

In Control Menu, referring to the center function, when set to "Repeat All" (infinity). For me personally and when I teach students, it would help to see how many times through an exercise we went, but currently upon stopping playback it resets. If it could retain the count that would be great, then reset upon playback or leave the exercise.

I'd like to be able to add triplets when writing notation in dotted-quarter note time signatures such as 12/8, 9/8, and 6/8. Example image attached.
