Thanks for the feedback. I chose the default orientation to make a downward mouse movement produce a downstroke. In tab view that relationship is reversed. But I understand your point that tab view is more familiar to guitar players and matches learning materials. I will reconsider the default and how the view options are presented
This would make sense if you're going with keywords, like "downward". But this logic only holds in language. If you compare it with human experience, then it no longer holds.
For example, did you notice that if you look at your own body, your legs are pointing "up"?
If the tool is meant to help people learn the real instrument, the view from player's perspective (low strings closer to the user, down on screen and lower frets on the left) would support the.process of learning. And if you'd like to be really inclusive I'd suggest also including a view for left handed players.
