Field notes
The proposed editor gives musicians a correction layer between automatic analysis and DAW export, including beat and downbeat inspection, meter changes, tempo movement, trims, and quantization. The page says melodic and polyphonic pitched-source transcription is the current focus, while instrument profiles and dedicated drum mapping remain roadmap items. The product is presented as a native macOS application with a waveform-centered interface.
