Description

I would like a program that works offline that chooses a scale, or a chord to practice (about 10 choices, see below). Chooses a string to start on (6 strings on a guitar), and chooses a key to work in (12 keys). I also want a timer to display on the screen counting how long it takes to complete the task. When complete, the user hits any key (like the spacebar) to end the timer. Then, the details of the randomly chosen challenge and the time it took to complete, should be written to an Excel file. This way the user can see how they are progressing over months of practice.

There should also be a checkbox on the GUI for whether this session is with or without prior warm up. This gets added to the Excel file as a value so that later the viewer can parse the Excel data to see how the timed events changed over months for either "cold start" or with "warm up".

The random choices should be pulled from files containing random numbers.
The musical keys can be determined from a random number file of 1-12. Which I can provide.
The guitar string to start from can be determined from a random number file of 1-6, which I can provide.
The random choices for which scale or chord or other challenge (like arpeggio)can be determined from random number file. (assuming there will be like 10 different challenges, I will provide random number list of 1-10.

That's it. Nothing fancy. No graphics. Just a GUI with buttons and check boxes. We did an online version that you can look at. But I want one that is self contained and doesn't require being online to run.
The code for that online one does not belong only to me. So, you must not use it. But the concept and general design does belong to me so you can use it as guidance and can copy it.
