When I play along the note pitches are incorrect
If you encounter audio playback issues, it may be due to a transposing error. The audio files are in the key of C, suitable for instruments like flute and piano. However, instruments such as clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, and others require audio transposition. Adjust the transposition in the settings menu for seamless playback.
You can change the transposition in the settings menu:
Can I practice with Piano or with multiple staffs/staves?
At present, our music generation is entirely random, and utilizing different staves may result in less optimal audio. However, we're actively developing a newer version of the music engine that will be more deterministic, offering exciting possibilities. If this piques your interest, please get in touch, and we'll keep you updated on its availability.
