December 2, 2025

Updated and minor fixes.

User reviews

Seems quite useful!

But, I am getting an "error" when I enter hexachords instead of the forte number.

Please allow "silent" computation

The new interface does not allow muting or settings adjustment. Please fix this or I cannot let my students use it in class.

Two B flats

You have two B flats in the clock. Please correct and update the app. Thanks.

Awesome Tool

Really user-friendly; a great app for music majors and composers!
