Thanks Roald for this feedback.

You’re right, as we mention on the download page, it’s a prototype.
We expect v. 0.3 for which the development team is hard at work to be more functional. 
Most of the features you are requesting are on the backlog (some are even already implemented)

have you tried cmd + or - ?

As all events are relative to the previous constraints/relations (this is more obvious in 0.3 than in 0.2), I’m not certain of the validity of handling dates (which makes almost no sense once a trigger point has been introduced…) but we can give it a thought…
I understand you’re using i-score in a static way (no interactive triggers), don’t you N

good idea !

good idea !

this is a planned feature of 0.3

Thanks again for your feedback, please feel free to give us more.
