I don't know anything about your slideshow application, but I have
always been thinking of making PB more fun to play and to encourage
budding pianists to improve. I have been planning to add stars as you
play and if you play well enough then you would get all five stars. Plus
adding a high score and perhaps a graph showing your improvement over
time.
Regarding your slideshow I have been thinking of adding cue/help cards
on the bottom of the screen. If there was an html file with exactly the
same name as the midi file but with the4 html file extension then PB
could automatically display this page on the bottom half of the screen.
If you do produce a slideshow app then please let me know as I maybe
could use use some of the slides in PB.
