- Violinists building intonation and practice habits
- Worth noticing
- Quick ornaments are explicitly excluded from tuning-error scoring; audio files are capped at 10 minutes or 40 MB.
Field notes
The practice interface offers free playing, two scale formats, vibrato measurement, and tone-quality comparison. Recording can come from a microphone or an audio file, with the page listing a 10-minute/40 MB limit; a synthesized exercise is available without a microphone. Its scoring notes separate held-note centers from fast ornaments, and the dynamics editor lets players shape a phrase without claiming to read dynamics from sheet music.
