1. Have a note counter that when pianist has played 2000 notes, there is a bang to close the piece (like we did for Bilbao)

This is not really a conditional. It's more like a self destruct button

Suggestion
In CodeKlavier.mottipets_classes.py have the method parse_midi return True or False if the parsing succeeded. Then in motippets.motippets.py check if the parsing indeed was successful and then increment a counter (or decrement a countdown). In the while True loop check if the counter hits the maximum number of notes and then break the while-loop.

👍 exactly. Although the idea is that Anne can code the self-destruct mode whenever she wants, and also choose the N notes before 💣 ... so the counter should start once anne puts the blocks together... so we need a function that checks for the correct blocks and then it 'activates' the counter the way u suggest

[borrob]

How world she activate it? Just as another motif that she can 🎹?

[narcode]

yeah, or a combination of motifs. a specific sequence of motifs so to speak

In the end the countdown became not notes but seconds. We used your ASCII bomb and countDOWN idea @borrob so THANKS!!! awesome. 💣 🎆 🥇
