Great tool to work with

The perfect tool for any musician level. It’s like taking a class in music understanding and definition.

Music Tools Dictionary

Comprehensive. Great reference tool. Very flexible metronome

No abbreviations

Unless they are hidden somewhere, if musical notes abbreviations are not included, I will ask for a refund.
