I too am a musician (well, I play around), and have used Mnemosyne for various aspects of that; mainly theory memorization, but sometimes "what to practice next". It works more or less ok, but I've found on the "what to practice" decks, what I'm looking for in the algorithm is not so much an absolute timing, but a relative one. What I want from the system is simply an ordering and re-shuffling based on my scoring of things; not so much a "wait 5 days to hit this thing again". When I practice based on mnemosyne, I usually just do so many minutes/hours of practice, and whatever comes next in the deck comes next. Sometimes I do a "do 6 mnemosyne cards of stuff" session without regard to time.
The point here is I often have to go into the "learn ahead of schedule" mode since what it's picked out for me to do on a certain day isn't enough. I use the algorithm to simply ORDER the things I want to do, not to SCHEDULE them. The only thing I could wish for from the application to make that style of use easier is to not care about days, but rather just use days/time as an artificial way to order the items. But with the learn ahead of schedule button, it already does that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
