I've used it too, for 3/4 and 7/8. I think if the feature were removed it would be a clumsy experience... if a user don't know what a time signature is yet, they are going to need to learn at some point. Quoting Ben Kennedy <ben@zygoat.ca>:
I have another question for you.
How important is the time signature functionality in Doggiebox? Does anyone use anything besides a 4-based meter (e.g. 6|8, 2|2, etc.)?
Some discussions I've had on a few occasions have led me to start questioning the utility or wisdom in sticking with this western-music idiom. When I started out, I thought it would be clever and useful to give Doggiebox an awareness of real-world musical concepts (a little smarter than other drum machines). In practice however -- aside from identifying the number of beats in the bar -- the time signature does not serve much purpose in the Doggiebox UI other than pretty looks.
In light of the geometry and editing issues I raised in the previous message, I'm wondering if it would be advisable to drop the distinction of time signature in favour of a more rudimentary "just how many beats in the bar".
Feedback?
