Most tracks have a 4/4 measure but Mixxx should also allow less common measures like 3/4 or 7/8. | Most tracks have a 4/4 measure but Mixxx should also allow less common measures like 3/4 or 7/8. | ||
This would be major benefit compared to other DJ software that assumes that all music has a 4/4 measure, which is incorrect for lots of music. | This would be major benefit compared to other DJ software that assumes that all music has a 4/4 measure, which is incorrect for lots of music. | ||
- | Currently Mixxx is not aware of bars and measures. It is a part of the project to place bars on the auto detected beat grids by a new editor and visualize them on the waveform. | + | Currently Mixxx is not aware of bars and measures.

- | The project might be extended towards a sync feature using this new info or into a feature that auto detect bars and phases. | + | Some preliminary work for drawing this information on the waveforms has been [[https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1918|started]].

A strong application will list some specific tracks with different time signatures that will be used for testing the new features. Students with backgrounds in music theory and/or playing percussion instruments are encouraged to apply for this project, but these are not requirements and we welcome your application if you do not have that experience. | A strong application will list some specific tracks with different time signatures that will be used for testing the new features.
