More Than Tabs
Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo
Audio Playback
Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.
Dual Notation
Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.
Practice Tools
Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
