Practice

Three levels

• ✓Beginner: The melody in one hand at two thirds tempo, with the score waiting for you.
• ✓Intermediate: Both hands a little under tempo, playing along rather than being waited for.
• ✓Advanced: The score as written, both hands, nothing waiting and a tight window.

How a level is made

A score can carry its own arrangement for each level, and the app plays it when it does. When it does not, the app derives one by rules that only ever remove notes, and a derived arrangement can be kept in the score file so it is not derived again.

The grade

• ✓Each note is in time, early, late, the wrong pitch or missed, and extra notes are counted too.
• ✓The report is by bar and by section, never a percentage.
• ✓Gentle, steady or strict sets how wide the window is.
• ✓With a MIDI keyboard, touch is reported on its own line.

The drill

A clean repetition steps the tempo up and a failed one drops it back. Choose the hands, whether the other hand accompanies or stays silent, and whether each repetition is counted in. Claude starts the same drill with practise.

Fair timing

Latency calibration clicks about a dozen times while you strike along, and takes the median for that device, so an audio driver’s delay is not graded as yours.
