Put my vote in for being able to measure from 0.0.0.0 ! That way, when the sound dies out at 79.3.0.0 I know I've got 79 bars and 3 beats of music. Logical no? (And that ruler at the top of the arrange window sure looks like a ruler :) I wasn't going to say anything, but when all the statements about it being wrong, incorrect and all that gobbeldygook appeared, I decided to put in a vote for sanity and toleration, not to mention mathematics, computers and logic. Cripes, Thomas only suggested an option for those that want it - many responded as if it would be a compulsary confinement! And remember, in a 7 note scale the distance (interval) between notes 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4, etc.) is called a third. :) And speaking of sanity, I (and I think a lot of others) would appreciate references when bold statements like 32 bit floating point is equivalent accuracy to 24 bit fixed point are made. Without references to back up brash statements, the list becomes too cluttered with BS, misleading, or misunderstood info - and the list ends up becoming worth less. If the only reference you can provide for a statement is an advertisement or similar, the statement should be prefaced with IMO (or if one is humble, IMHO). If you think you have a fact to impart to the list - please be precise and make it clear how substantiated the fact is. Remember the list has a wide audience with some people who know little about what you know, and some that know more. Try and make posts that are clear and correct to both groups. (This could have helped shorten and inform the whole "zero" and now "negative" latency posts - only one of which gave some actual informative figures. Even this, however, did not indicate whether these were best case, worst case, etc.) Jim Savage
