How to Use: Pick a written note (touch the staff) and have the fingering displayed and concert pitch played on the piano. Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have that pitch's fingering displayed and the transposed note written on the staff. • If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them. • Use the 'Play Note' or 'Play Trill' button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed. • Use the mute button to access the fingerings without hearing the pitches. Selecting a Pitch: Using the Staff (transposed for the current instrument): Simply touch and slide up and down on the staff to select the note, slide to the right or left of the note for sharps and flats. Using the Piano (concert pitch): drag in the area below the keyboard to move the keyboard, touch to play notes, touch & slide to change the pitch. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated as a raised value (sharps), when you glissando down, notes will be notated as lowered values (flats). Use the up and down arrows to move chromatically up and down without touching the music staff or piano keyboard. ## Key features - Interactive fingering charts for woodwinds and brass - Alternate fingerings and trill fingerings - Piano interface with note names and notation - Supports multiple clefs for various instruments - Transposition for instrumental notation - Visual guides for key names and locations ## Recent user reviews (10 of 17) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fingering-xl/id367215068/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great app - A must for alto-flute player *2021-02-24, version 6.0* Great details with flute and piano! ### 4/5 — Great App, But Sound Doesn’t Work? *2019-10-10, version 6.0* I use this app regularly, but recently found the sound no longer works. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but have the same issue. Any ideas? Other background apps closed and I’ve tried restarting the iPad too. Volume is up and sound works in other apps. Thanks! This app also doesn’t seem to load via the iPad “recent app” shortcuts. ### 5/5 — Missing B flat saxophone fingerings *2018-10-30, version 5.0* This is a great app but it is missing the B flat saxophone fingerings for all saxophone types (the lowest note a sax can play). Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2017-09-10, version 5.0* This was my favorite app to use in the classroom, but it won't even open anymore, please update! ### 4/5 — Great resource *2017-04-04, version 5.0* This app is easy to navigate and intuitive to use. It has all the info I've been looking for! ### 5/5 — Grat .app *2015-10-13, version 4.5.1* Great app. Very helpful for some tricky fingering. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-08-19, version 4.5.1* Great for music teachers ### 1/5 — Used to love it, now....meh *2014-11-02, version 4.5.1* This app was great, but since the last update there is a problem with trills. When you select a pitch on the piano, then select m2 or M2 trill, the app changes your original starting pitch. Ex. I chose C#, but the app changes it to C. Please fix this back to the way it used to be...you know...working. ### 5/5 — Excellent, easy to use and understand *2014-09-30, version 4.5.1* As a band teacher, this app lets me show students the various choices in an easy to understand format. Well designed. ### 5/5 — Do recommend *2014-03-26, version 4.5* A great app, though I do kind of wish when you had an instrument selected, it would make the sound of that instrument, and not just a piano. ## Frequently asked questions about Fingering XL ### What instruments does Fingering for iPad support?
