It's a free budget software that is pretty popular. If you have markers or wear longer clothing, you can have it track your joint angles throughout the entire motion. See here:

Good to know that the neck discomfort is common. I have no clue what is supposed to feel normal or not so I'm just mentioning everything hah. I don't know why I never thought of just using some simple trig to calculate stem length/angle! I'll hunt down a cheap 110mm step to try out since I theoretically only need 5mm more.
I think the elbow pain might have been because I was putting so much weight on my arms, and I wonder if maybe I should consider narrower bars. I'll need to grab some video from the front. I read that a good test is that your wrists are inline with your elbows?
That last is true, but I'm not sure bar width has much to do with anything. Maybe. One tries to keep one's elbows in to reduce frontal area, so then yes, hands directly in front of elbows would be best and therefore bar width . . .

In that Numb Hands comment I posted a link to, look at the photo of the Timex rider taken from the right. Examine her hand position. See how she's resting the side of the heel of her hand on the bar top, her thumb hooked over the top of the hood? That's a great long distance hand position.
I think you're there. Now there's just the riding . . .
