[Suggestion] Strumming Speed

Since i bougth Heavier7Strings i have been using the struming time sync mode, wich is one of the best features, and noticed that the slider has a wide range (80% of the slider) of 1/2 time, and extra range for a 1/2t time. And then 1/4, 1/4t, 1/8, 1/8t...

The question:

Anyone can notice that any position that shows 1/2t it's close to the real 1/2. But what position is the true 1/2 Strum time?

And my suggestion is:
Show when the time is exaclty 1/2,1/4,1/8... and a button to set the time to the exact fractions like in guitar pro 7 (described bellow)
The struming feature in guitar pro 7 has buttons (red circled) to set the exact position for 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. So when the 1/8 button is clicked, the position sets exaclty to 1/8. (Like in the image below).

1/2, 1/4..are quantized, it’s the same value within the range.

What mean that every fraction is twice? a fraction with "t" and another without it, we have in the program 1/2 & 1/2t, 1/4 & 1/4t, 1/8 & 1/8t...it's confusing.

Please let me describe more details:

In current design, when you set strumming to "sync" mode, the numeric range of the slide bar is not changed, and current speed value is calculated to nearest beat number and truncated to it. This make beat range in exponential scale and make the leftmost beat number has too small range.

This seems not so good, and we will make each beat number to have same width in next update. Thanks for your suggestion!

When it comes to mastering guitar, strumming speed plays a crucial role in enhancing rhythm and overall performance. Here, developing a consistent and controlled strumming speed can significantly elevate your playing technique. It's not just about playing fast; it's about finding the right balance between speed and accuracy to achieve fluidity in your music. By practicing different strumming patterns at varying speeds, you can improve Here your dexterity and timing, ultimately allowing you to tackle more complex songs with ease. Remember, patience and persistence are key as you work on refining your strumming technique. Keep pushing your limits, and you'll see noticeable progress over time.
