I typically set the mm to 40 (perhaps too slow) and play 1 bow per 2 clicks: 1 note per 2 clicks, 2 notes per 2 clicks, 3 notes per 2 clicks (hard to stay in time), 4 notes per 2 clicks, 6 notes per 2 clicks, 8 notes per 2 clicks, and for some easy keys, 12 notes per 2 clicks.<BR/><BR/>I do some variations in bowing patterns, but I'm not consistent in that practice, yet.<BR/><BR/>What I should do more of now that I have left hand going ok is fast separate bows and 2-1 and 3-1 bowing patterns (unequal times up and down).
