  Interesting. While I made some progress with violin, that's 400 year old technology, and I want to continue with music but with more productive technology, likely based on using a computer to help compose and perform music. So, I'm interested.

  Suggestions:

  (1) In the demo, make the text on the screen of the computer used in the demo much, much larger and much easier to read.

  (2) Before first using a term, e.g., playground, motivate, define, and explain the term.

  (3) Pronounce all the words clearly, e.g., don't drop voice volume at certain words or at the end of sentences and don't mumble. In other words, speak right up, loud and clear so that you can be heard and understood.

  (4) At the beginning, give an overview of the work and presentation.

  So, right, (1) I can't read anything on the screen of the computer used for the demo, (2) don't want to struggle with and wonder about undefined terminology, (3) really mostly can't understand the voice, and (4) want to have a broad description at the beginning to have a first-cut understanding of what the work and presentation are about.

  Wow, the fade in between pages is just sooooooooo looooooong and annoooooooooying. It's like 2 or 3 seconds transition time. Ridiculous.

  Too much code, needs some node-based interface.
