Mobile app

When you're reading sheet music in cori, two little tools make rehearsing on your own much easier: a built-in metronome to keep you in time and an overlay piano to check pitches without leaving the page. Both live in the full-screen Sheet Music view on the mobile app.

Where to find the controls

Open a song (or start a setlist in rehearsal mode) so its sheet fills the screen, then tap the sheet once to reveal the toolbar along the top. You'll find the piano and metronome icons there — tap the sheet again any time to hide everything and read undisturbed.

Tap the sheet to reveal the top toolbar, with the piano and metronome icons on the left.

Turn on the metronome

1

Switch it on

Tap the in the toolbar. A small beat indicator appears and starts pulsing in time. For songs that already have a tempo saved, it starts at that tempo automatically.

2

Open the settings

Tap the beat indicator to open its panel. Use the speaker toggle to turn the click sound on — the metronome runs silently by default so it won't interrupt a live rehearsal.

3

Set the tempo and beats

Under Beats per minute, drag the slider, nudge with the – / + buttons, or tap along to the music to set the tempo by ear. Under Beats, tap a beat to cycle accented / normal / silent, long-press to remove one, or tap + to add a beat — that's how you match a 3/4, 4/4 or other time signature.

Set the beats per minute and tap each beat to choose its accent.

Save it with the song

If you opened a song that has a tempo, tap Save in the settings panel to store your new tempo and beat pattern with that song, so it's ready next time. To hide the metronome, long-press the beat indicator or tap Stop.

Check notes on the overlay piano

Not sure of your starting note, or want to hear an interval? Tap the in the toolbar and a keyboard slides up over the sheet.

1

Play a note

Tap any key to hear that pitch. The keyboard covers the full range and is centred around middle C, so you can quickly find your entry note or sound out a tricky leap while the sheet stays in view.

2

Close it again

Tap the ✕ in the corner of the keyboard to close it and carry on reading.

The overlay piano sits over the sheet so you can sound out notes as you read.
