Field notes
The page describes a local rendering pipeline: MusicXML goes in, sampled-instrument audio and a moving notation cursor come out. It names Dorico, MuseScore, Sibelius, and Finale as score sources, and says swing is read from the score while tempo remains exact. The installable player keeps its library in the browser; the site says scores and recordings are never uploaded.
