## What is PianoTrace?

PianoTrace is a score-guided intelligent piano practice system.

Say goodbye to mindless repetition and ineffective practice. PianoTrace features a vast built-in library of classical scores, supports importing MusicXML / MXL scores, breaks down technical demands across 7 dimensions, and generates a structured practice path: "hands-separate phrases → hands together → phrase connections → full performance." Connect your digital piano or MIDI keyboard for precision diagnostics, note-level annotations, and clear next-step advice—making what, how, and how well you practice crystal clear.

From digital scores to confident performance, every practice step is clear.

◆ Smart Score Import · 7-Dimension Difficulty Analysis
- Import MusicXML (.musicxml / .xml) and MXL scores

【Who It's For】
- Pianists and learners practicing with digital pianos or MIDI keyboards
- Music enthusiasts wanting a structured way to practice MusicXML / MXL scores
- Players tackling complex pieces that benefit from scientific practice breakdown
- Anyone looking for objective performance feedback, note annotations, and clear guidance

---

【Important Notes】
- Score Import: Supports digital scores in MusicXML and MXL formats.
- Hardware Connection: Browsing scores, listening to the library, and structural difficulty analysis do not require hardware. Performance detection and diagnostics in practice paths require a compatible digital piano or MIDI keyboard (PianoTrace focuses on high-precision MIDI signal analysis and does not use microphone audio).
- Difficulty Analysis: Reflects objective score demands; does not represent official grading or predict individual learning speed.
- Full difficulty depth analysis, smart practice paths, detailed annotations, and premium features require PianoTrace Pro.
