Better grouping of 16th and 32th in the rhythm exercises

In the rhythm exercises with 8th measures there are difficulties to read many notes with the same value. Specially in the rhythm correction exercise I have to count the notes to locate the wrong note.

See example 1) with 12 32th notes in one group. All notes are joined with 3 bars. In example 2) these notes are now grouped into 3 8th note values. Only the outer bar joins all notes. Now I can easily locate the beats.


1) 12 32th notes in one group

2) 12 32th notes in 3 groups of 8th (4 * 32th)

EarMaster developers may want to look at how Gnu Lilypond handles note groupings.

We always want to improve EarMaster. I agree that some of the 8th-meters could group 16th and 32nd notes better. We have that on our list for the next version of EarMaster.
