How to Use: Pick a written note (click on the staff) and have the fingering displayed and concert pitch played on the piano. Play a concert pitch on the piano (click on the piano) and have that pitch's fingering displayed and the transposed note written on the staff. • If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them. • Use the 'Play Note' or 'Play Trill' button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed. • Use the mute button to access the fingerings without hearing the pitches. Selecting a Pitch: Using the Staff (transposed for the current instrument): Simply click and drag up and down on the staff to select the note, drag right for sharp, left for flat, or drag up and down right or left of the note for constant sharps and flats. Using the Piano (concert pitch): Scroll to move the keyboard, click to play notes, click & hold then drag to glissando. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated with sharps, when you glissando down, notes will be notated with flats. When you click specific notes they will be notated in the most common accidental for that note. ie: Eb rather than D#, F# rather than Gb. Use the up and down arrows to move chromatically up and down without clicking the music staff or piano keyboard.
