@dave_dore I’ve now added some controller meters like these to my Show Notes song template and to a few existing songs I have, and it works great! Really nice clear view, I love it! Very ingenious work Dave!!!

Hehe, couldn’t resist: I’ve serialized @dave_dore’s original formula for the linear meters. Reduces a bit of the complexity of chained ternary operators, so it might make things a bit easier to digest for Cantabile.
$(cc(7,16)>0?"🟦" : " ")$(cc(7,16)>10?"🟦" : "")$(cc(7,16)>20?"🟩" : "")$(cc(7,16)>30?"🟩" : "")$(cc(7,16)>40?"🟩" : "")$(cc(7,16)>50?"🟨" : "")$(cc(7,16)>60?"🟨" : "")$(cc(7,16)>70?"🟨" : "")$(cc(7,16)>80?"🟧" : "")$(cc(7,16)>90?"🟧" : "")$(cc(7,16)>100?"🟧" : "")$(cc(7,16)>110?"🟥" : "")$(cc(7,16)>120?"🟥" : "")
Not sure if that helps with the WebUI issues? If they’re mainly UI-update-driven, then this shouldn’t be much different, so I wouldn’t bet on it…

I did some experiments with different types of tempo indicators
top to bottom are the scripts used
circled numbers
``
$(cc(40,16) == 1 ? “①” : cc(40,16) == 2 ? " ②" : cc(40,16) == 3 ? " ③" : cc(40,16) == 4 ? " ④" :“”)
``
colored dots
``
$(cc(40,16) == 1 ? “
” : cc(40,16) == 2 ? " 
" : cc(40,16) == 3 ? " " : cc(40,16) == 4 ? " " :“”)
in place serial numbers
$(cc(40,16))
``
all are fed by the same binding. You can create different value settings for higher numbers of beats here if you expand on the ternary statements. All examples are 4/4.
all examples are set to full font size = 100.

How high a BPM can be successfully displayed via WebUI? My experience has been missed beats on the WebUI >=130 BPM. Mains screen is always good, but WebUI misses beats.
Not sure, I was testing natively. Will look.
It starts to miss redraws on the Cantabile Web UI between 240 and 250 bpm. My drummer likes to take a glance at my laptop to get a visual tempo guide so I was looking at a way to make a big display type for show notes. Show Notes Native runs up to 300 BPM
Mine skips at 130 BPM, but I’m blinking a dot in time using a Midi file every 8th note with cc54 on channel 16. If cc=1, show the dot. if cc<>1, overwrite with a blank.
$(((cc(54,16))==1)?"•":" ")
I believe we may have the same results as my code is sending a redraw at 2x BPM (8th notes) which would be around 260 BPM. Thanks for the answer.

Hi All,
I came up with this other method using the ‘strpart’ function. It allows simple editing of the CC source for the whole expression and I changed the number of indicators to split into multiples of 12. That makes the first yellow indicator 0 db exactly. Way less edits if you make multiple bars lol.
$(strpart(" ;🟢;🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟡;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟡🟡;🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟡🟡🔴", cc(7,2) / 12))
