This looks awesome! Keep up the good work. Once you get this out I’ll definitely give GC a try.

It looks great Andy! Getting this available will be awesome, and really encourage development! And drive GC adoption for sure.

Very nice. The first couple of years I did this was no more complicated than what you have here (though your implementation is far slicker, of course) so I’d say even in its current state it could be useful.

As currently implemented, are you using an entire file or can you specify a segment of a file? I typically mark interesting segments with the interval markers so I just work with interval X, but the other way to do this is to be able to mark a segment post hoc.

Sometimes it’s helpful to adjust the axis scaling or to add a horizontal reference line or two.

I work with the PT so I alway set eta, the overall drivetrain efficiency factor, at 1.0. If I used a Quarq or SRM or some other device I’d allow for drivetrain loss.
