Rhythm Mode
Let's make a rhythm mode which changes all the notes to a beat (and this will be great for when we make small loops for practice).
Sometimes we only need to practice tempo and rhythm and I find the metronome is not good enough for this. Especially with off the beat (syncopated rhythms) I have gone so far as open another program copy the rhythm section over to it and make a drum beat matching the rhythm and listen and practice that beat.
Scenario:
Keep performing or practicing but can't quite get a section right. Know what the notes are, but something is off in the timing but don't know what or which.
Solution:
Turn on "rhythm mode" where all the notes are shown on the screen, but the sounds are turned into beats/drum/metronome sound. This way, like "clapping the rhythm" you can hear and feel the rhythm correctly and you can get that part of the song correctly.
Remember! When we go to a music teacher, how often do they ask us to count off the rhythm??

A workout with exercises designed to practice keeping the beat.
I would have a series of progressively harder notes to play, where either the color changes to represent Perfect, a bit early, a bit late etc, so you can see how well you are doing after a playthrough, and also which notes, or sections were troublesome, or a detailed score would be given at the end, for how often the notes were perfect. -

Thumbs up! For some songs it's so difficult to _focus_ both on the notes and on the rhythm. This feature would definitely improve our learning experience.
