upgrade to 1.1.2 and see demo https://vimeo.com/81814901 this does not
try to guess the rhythm as you play, but does place the pitches over the
metronome beat. You then enter the rhythmic notation that you want.

I use https://vimeo.com/62188678 as you probably know - there are
improvements since then (dotted rhythms and triplets can be entered
without extra-rhythmic key presses and slurs can be entered with the
rhythms now) but it is my preferred route. I cannot play the MIDI
controller accurately enough to make the newer method work, except so
slowly that it takes me longer than the older method.

foot pedal on MIDI controller.
the Alt key on the pc-keyboard also does this.
