Field notes
The interface separates progression building, chord-shape exploration, scale work, triad exercises, and a scale finder. It offers root-position, first-inversion, and second-inversion choices, several arpeggio patterns, selectable playback voices, tempo and rhythm controls, and optional bass lines. The page says saved progressions are kept in the browser; in the captured preview, browser saving is unavailable, while JSON export and import are offered for moving files between devices.
