I can see the reasoning against it but I also understand why it can be useful, in particular when you consider that the excercises in the lessons already feature this way of playing to begin with.

Playing the right notes in time is ultimately what it's all about, but when the practice mode is moving while you're still hunting for the right notes and the right order of notes to play, it's easy to miss a large piece of the melody, in particular when it involves intricate parts or hand placements you're not familiar with.

I'd be in favor of this feature as long as it remains user selectable.

Here's another one of this where I put it in more blatant words what I think of the idea: https://yousician.uservoice.com/forums/296820-feature-requests/suggestions/35863915-at-your-own-pace

Music happens in time. The accuracy of playing a certain note means anything only when it happens in the context of the time of the song. This is not practicing accuracy, to be precise.

You can do this by stopping the playback in practice mode and playing the notes one by one. I do this all the time.

I don't oppose, but I don't see myself using this a lot. But you never know, maybe I would. I would couple it with a metronome click so that I could have a goal speed that I could try to match.

Thanks for the tip. I’m gonna switch my subscription to FlowKey as well.

Love this idea, this would be much more effective and engaging than slowing down the tempo to learn a section of a song.

I agree, Yousician knows you stumbled over a section. I would good if the system simple wind back to the previous bar and give a count in to try again, exactly as you can do manually in practice. This should be optional as with the tempo change.

Hey guys, can you please add your votes to the first feature request from 2015 instead? We should avoid to split our voting power for one feature into multiple requests.

I would like to use this stop-waiting-feature in the piano mode! It''s really missing, thats why I'm paying for flowkey until yousician will implement it.

So the song only moves forward if I get the notes correct

Have song progress only if correct note is played, that way if I mess up a key then I don't have to rewind the entire song and find the part I messed up on, and I can correct my mistake then and there.

Could we have a mode to auto-restart the song/section on error for when we are trying to get gold stars? It should be a toggle option obviously and off by default.

It's particularly annoying because I know the program has the ability to do that, in some of the beginning tutorials that's exactly what it did. Not to be mention that type of slow intentional practice is exactly what the research says is the best path to mastery. This one thing is probably going to be be enough for me to quit Yousician entirely.

Yes please! I am pretty slow to learn and get all flustered when it moves on without me. Particularly when I am trying to convince my left hand to move independently to my right.

This is also a feature in flowkey and is very helpful when working out the fingering.

A mode where the song automatically restarts if a single note is not hit. This mode will be tailored to the perfectionists who are aiming to get all gold stars for their songs. This function can be switched on or off.

I thought of this because I get annoyed with having to manually restart the song when I miss a note or make a mistake, and it gets REALLY annoying

I'm trying to use Yousician to teach my 5 year old piano, but the only song he can play is the "tutorial" where the music stops until he plays the correct note. As soon as he gets to the first real song, he can't keep up. It would be very helpful to have the option to use this feature for every song in practice mode so he had more time to learn.

Right now i am learning different chords and how to efficiently transition. As I'm playing along with the app i end up missing my que which makes me either just stay on the same cord knowing I'll mis it or try for the next chord and get way behind. I know i can just slow it down on practice but what would be more helpful is if the song would pause until i catch up to it like when you first start using the app.

What do you exactly want? Is it a feature where if you failed a note, the song waites for the note (ie if you fail a note, the song will stop and it only will continue when you play the note)? Well, if it's that, this really happens in Yousician, but only in the starter songs. This should be expanded for all songs.

Even better - learn to play it perfectly before entering into performance mode. No need to restart!
