DoReMi Paletteは、ピアノ練習のための譜面ビューアです。MusicXML / MXLの譜面を読み込み、音符と鍵盤を色で対応させながら、読みやすく練習できます。 主な機能: - MusicXML / MXLファイルの読み込み - 音符、休符、調号、拍子、臨時記号、連桁、タイ、スラー、三連符のMVP表示 - Bravura / SMuFLを使った譜面記号表示 - 音符色、五線色、鍵盤色の表示切り替え - カラーパレット編集 - スコアと鍵盤の現在音ハイライト - 再生、停止、前後移動、リセット - 練習モード - テンポ情報の読み込みとBPM調整 - メトロノーム、Tap Tempo、複合拍子MVP対応 - キー選択と譜面表示の移調 - 小節番号表示と小節ジャンプ - ピンチズーム - ライブラリと最近使ったファイル - 対応できないMusicXML要素の診断表示 - 初回使用ガイド 譜面上の音と鍵盤の位置を対応させて確認できるため、読譜に慣れていない段階でも、音の位置関係を見ながら練習できます。キー変更や移調表示にも対応しているため、練習したい調に合わせた確認ができます。 DoReMi Paletteは現在MVP段階のアプリです。出版品質の浄書、すべてのMusicXML記法、複雑な多声部衝突回避、外部MIDI、録音、採点、クラウド同期には対応していません。複雑な反復記号やジャンプ記号は一部のみ対応し、未対応の構造は診断として表示される場合があります。 このアプリは、楽譜制作ソフトではなく、ピアノ練習時に譜面、音、鍵盤の対応を確認するための学習補助ツールです。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DoReMi Palette at none against Polywave's 1. DoReMi Palette also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Polywave's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
