As far as user's responsibility goes, it doesn't make sense to input negative numbers, yet it is possible. > Not sure about the go button, seems to work here.

Hence the repetitions of results. I don't know. Anyway, nice work. I didn't work yet with all those list objects, so I need to learn them a bit. Also, for my purposes I'm thinking of implementing two other tools to this soon-to-be abstraction: - The first one is a bang generator that outputs a bang at random time intervals (with max and min defined by the user) running together with a chronometer. So it outputs the exact time of the bangs. Maybe it could output two times: the overall duration since the chronometer started and the interval between tha bang and the last one, very easy to do. - The second one is a table that give the duration of musical notes when the user inputs the tempo. That's something that I saw once as an MS Excell spreadsheet that the spanish composer Jose Manuel Lopez Lopez had and is soooo useful. I remember that it even had many tempos side by side so the composer could know when the triplet in tempo x is equal to sixteenth in tempo y, à la elliott carter. I also have a friend that wanted to do that, maybe we can team up.
