Ooh, very fun. I haven't found any bugs in it yet, and it's all very easy to use. I got a bit confused that 0 in Dec goes to Z in Letters, but then I realised that that actually made sense.
Speaking of the letters base,

Hey, my favorite one so far in base-26 is 0.04, which is Z.AAAAAAAAAAAA
So 1/25th is analogous to 1/9th in base-10, in that they both repeat 0.11111111111,
or Z.AAAAAAAAAAAA
This is so cool, man.
Ya gotta love it.

Note that 1000 is ALL
4646 is FVR
and 2222 is AFVR
Just havin' fun with this...

oh, I'm back....
I typed in 2007 and it said BYE!!!
(smile)
...I'm back again...
and SLING is interesting in decimal, as is AUNT.
I'll have to try the base-20 next...
....Back again...
Oh, the hex drum set is really nice sounding!
Excellent idea, math and rhythm.
A sort of multiplexer to pick hi-hat tom bass etc.

I can delete/add/change text where it originally says 'A=1, B=2, C=3, ... X=24, Y=25, and Z=0' in green underneath the two conversion boxes.

Is it meant to be like this (for a reason)? My changes don't stay permanently of course but I was just wondering.

Well, apart from that, this is cool. I like how the conversion is live.

In case you missed by post about the repeating Y problem.
Here is the point where it is right in base 26:
A.YYYYYYYYYY    which equals  1.99999
Here is where is fails:
A.YYYYYYYYYYY   which is says incorrectly equals just 1, but should say 1.99999 or 2.
When it fails, it is off by one, which is not a good thing.

OK, I posted a new version, that handles fractional components rounding to 1.

Thank you so much for pointing this out John. It works for me now, but maybe you could give it a test. Software is only as good as the tests it has passed!

Thanks John.

Maybe I should give that little app a page on its own.
