Thanks so much for this detailed and generous comment — it’s incredibly encouraging to hear from someone with your level of experience.

Yes, the email listed on the Imprint page is the best way to reach me — I’d love to hear your suggestions when you get a chance.

And it’s great that you brought up Melody Maker tuning! Even though I don’t currently own a harp in that tuning, I’ve implemented theoretical support for Melody Maker (as well as other Richter variants) in the app already. So users can visualize bends and pitches correctly even when playing in those alternate tunings.

Your Stevie Nicks example is such a beautiful use case. Expressive bending like that — starting just below the pitch and sliding up — is exactly the kind of thing I hope the app can help people hear and understand more consciously.

Also, I really appreciate that you mentioned manual retuning. Let’s Bend was designed to be lightweight and offline, so it’s ideal for checking pitch quickly when tuning by ear or file. That’s one of the practical scenarios I had in mind from the start.

Thanks again — I’m learning a lot from your comment.
