Dear Aaron,

Thank you for this software -- a microtonal aural training program is an excellent idea.

I did not have the time yet to look at it further. Only some very quick feedback: in the Mac version, the help window (shown after startup and accessible via the menu help) seems to be empty, just a white page. Also, after extracting the application is called "XENTONE copy" (I assume you meant XENTONE).

I might have missed the obvious. However, is there some "query mode", where after playing a random interval (or whatever) the software would give no visual clue (e.g., no solution in notation nor by highlighting any button). The user would then press a button to indicate a solution and get some confirmation whether the solution was correct or not (best no extra window for the confirmation to avoid additional clicks..).

Best
Torsten

Hi Torsten.

There was an installation error in the first release.

Please try 0r1x1:
<http://www.h-pi.com/downloads.html>

What you are looking for is the Racing Game mode.
Details are in the Help files.

Cheers,
Aaron
