FAQ
Why are there no dynamics markings?
On phones and earphones used in everyday settings, quiet passages such as pianissimo get buried under ambient noise and become inaudible. For sight-singing practice, hearing every note clearly and evenly matters more than dynamic expression, so dynamics are intentionally omitted.
Why are ornaments and trills omitted?
In solfege, each note is sung with a syllable name, so rapid ornamental notes would turn into a tongue twister. They are omitted to keep the melody singable.
Is there an Android version?
An Android version is technically ready, but it is difficult for individual developers to release under Google Play's current publishing requirements.
Where can I download the B-flat transposition?
Open the PDF viewer from the PDF icon on the player screen, select "B flat," and download. See How to Use for details.
Should I choose Fixed-do or Movable-do?
Both have their strengths, and it varies by country and teaching tradition. See Types of Solfege for details.
