But the problem isn't so much after ring, but the inconstancies between them. If B1 is shutting off in .5 second, and C2 takes 1.5 seconds to quite down, that is a big difference. And that is the problem. A little after ring on all the notes is a good thing. But a lot on some, and a little on others, is annoying. And that is the problem I am trying to solve.
