Right now for pitch-detection purposes I'm not differentiating between them. If you produce a sound of the right pitch and octave that's considered a "hit" regardless of which fret or string you used to create it.

Personally I see that as a feature, but I guess if you wanted to be very prescriptive about fingering for educational/training reasons I can see the value in treating them differently.

There is some subtle difference in the tone (which is why you can hear the difference, obviously) so this is _possible_ but not trivial. I've actually been experimenting with "string detection" recently so that I can warn users when they are off by one string (a common beginner mistake).



Well, for chords not differentiating between them is correct anyway, since you can play different voicings.

The string detection is a good idea imho
