Ahoy, ChucKists -

I've just coded myself a perfectly serviceable metronome, and it works fine except for a small nagging thing in the MAUI.

In my metronome, I have 2 toggle type buttons, "thirds" and "sixteenths". If one is on, the other is off, so i'm always subdividing the pulse one way or the other. As it is, if I turn "thirds" on and off, the "sixteenth" button dutifully goes off and on in a complementary way. If I do this, though:

- toggle "thirds" on ("quarters" stays off)

- toggle "quarters" on ("thirds" politely turns off)

- toggle "thirds" on

At this point they're *both* on. I can get back to a one-or-the-other state by fussing around and toggling the right combo of things, but i'd rather not do that.

I've attached just the button-related code below - i've got two functions set up that are turning the other button on or off depending on whether or not they're off or on. It's bending my brain a bit to figure out why it sometimes behaves the way it does - any insights out there?

thanks, as always,
