Hi James, I think there are a number of people working on things in this area so it will be important to coordinate. I don't think working on time-based tuning should be started until some other overhauls to the existing length-based system are farther along. I would suggest that if you are look

Hi all, I contributed a bit back before the v6 and v7 releases, but due to a new job and moving house I had to take a step back from development. I've got some time available again, and the 8.0.0 release has spurred me on again. I would like to work on some features for 9.00, primarily around tool
