I love it, great job, OP!

One question, are there future plans to add either a song editor (so that people can encode their own sequences instead of being stuck with the default 4 songs) or a mode where instead of guiding you through a preset song, it simply shows which notes you are playing? The latter one, especially, is something that I find sorely missing :(

Great idea! It may be a bit challenging to execute on that because currently it "snaps" to the note you're supposed to be playing, and given that even shifts of a centimeter or two will change the pitch to a different note, so it would require superhuman hand steadiness to play a real song.

A true trombone doesn't have the same issue because the entire range of playable notes isn't regulated by the slide, you change your lips to change the pitch. I'll think on this though. At very least it would be fun to have that mode to do a sad trombone womp womp sound.
