Scale tempo markers using BeatCounter #215

Open matclab opened 9 years ago

matclab commented 9 years ago

When tempo marker are sets in the music, beat counter is not take into account. It would be nice for live performance to be able to shifts tempo markers according to the initial BPM, given by BeatCounter.

so if i understand correctly you want to ba able to overrult the tempo merkers with the tempo you enter via the beatcounter. correct ?

Not exactly. Imagine a song starting at 60bpm, with a latter ramp up to 68, 76 and then a finish at 120 bpm. Then for a live session, we would start the song with BeatCounter at perhaps something like 55bpm (perhaps, because we are still rehearsing it, and damned it becomes quite difficult at the end, so we start a bit slower). It then would be nice that the three other BPM marker to be played according to the ratio 60/55 (thus : 62, 70, 110), so as the overall acceleration sounds the same, event if the song was started at a slower pace than the 60bpm planned).

can we call this 'relative BPM time markers' ?

matclab commented 9 years ago

The only other name I can come with would be something like "adaptative tempo marker"... I'm not sure to be qualified for giving an advice about naming though. Perhaps the name "tempo marker" is sufficient as I can not imagine a scenario when one would use the beatcount feature with fixed tempo markers..

This might indeed be quite interesting for live performances.
