ColorCoded Music vs Page2Play

Learning to read sheet music is the biggest hurdle in playing piano. ColorCoded helps you get past it. Import any piece of sheet music and see every note in color, instantly making the page easier to read. Every note is colored by its pitch, so you can tell at a glance what you're looking at without second-guessing the staff. Whether it's a piece your teacher assigned, a page from your method book, or something you picked up at the music store, ColorCoded can read it. ColorCoded also provides fingering suggestions to help you find comfortable hand positions as you learn. They work best on beginner and intermediate pieces, giving you a helpful starting point so you're not figuring out every finger from scratch. Not sure where to start? Browse the public library, a growing collection of beginner and intermediate pieces, already analyzed and ready to study. Open a piece, see the colors, try the fingerings. No importing required. For teachers: ColorCoded works as a practice companion between lessons. Assign a piece, and your student can study it with color-coded notes and fingering guidance before they sit down with you. It reinforces note reading and builds good habits from day one. Built by a pianist and engineer who believes technology should make music more accessible, not more complicated.

Got a keyboard at home but never learned to read sheet music? Page2Play turns any printed score into a playable practice piece. Scan or photograph the page, touch up the recognition in a built-in notation editor, and play the song by watching falling bars on a synced piano keyboard, with no note-reading required. Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet required for the core flow. Your scans, MIDI, and practice settings never leave your phone. CAPTURE • Import a scanned page (PNG, JPG, or pages exported from a PDF). Flat, evenly lit scans give the cleanest recognition. • Phone photos also work when scans aren't available; expect more cleanup in the editor on noisy phone shots. • Or skip recognition entirely and import existing MIDI or MusicXML. A REAL EDITOR, NOT JUST A VIEWER Recognition is rarely perfect, so Page2Play ships with the tools to fix anything the recognizer missed, right on the phone, with no desktop round-trip: • Tap a note and change its pitch. • Change the key signature when the recognizer guessed wrong. • Change the time signature per measure. • Insert or delete measures anywhere in the score. • Wrap notes into tuplets (triplets and other 3:2 groupings). • Multi-page navigation with per-page editing. • Undo and redo across the whole session. • Export to MusicXML (round-trip with desktop notation software), MIDI, or PDF, either a single page or the entire score. PRACTICE WITHOUT READING • Falling bars: notes drop onto a piano keyboard at the speed you choose. Watch the bars, press the matching keys on your piano. That's it. • Mute either hand to focus on the other. • A/B loop any passage until it clicks. • Slow it down or speed it up while keeping the pitch intact. • No MIDI cable? Play along on any acoustic or digital piano and Page2Play listens through the microphone. A Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard also connects, for the tightest timing. • Listen back with a built-in upright-piano sound. • Score mode: play a song on your MIDI keyboard or through the microphone for a graded run, with accuracy, combo, and a full-combo goal, plus your best score saved per song. • Practice stats: daily practice time, a running streak, and per-song totals for plays, time, and best score. RECOGNITION PIPELINE Page2Play uses an on-device optical music recognition pipeline trained on printed scores. It handles multi-staff piano music, key and time signatures, rests, ties, accidentals, and clef changes. Recognition takes roughly a minute or two per page depending on your device and whether GPU acceleration is enabled (Settings, then GPU acceleration). PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. • Optional crash reporting (Sentry) sends only stack traces, with no images, no MIDI, and no titles. • No data is uploaded for model training or any other purpose. Full privacy policy: https://page2play.app/privacy WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone with a keyboard at home and a song they want to play, who never got around to learning to read music, or got rusty. • Self-taught players who learn by watching, not by reading. • People with a stack of sheet music collecting dust. WHAT YOU NEED • A mobile phone. • A piano or keyboard to play along on (any acoustic, digital, or MIDI controller works; Page2Play tells you what to press, you press it). • A clean scan (PNG, JPG, or PDF page export) works best for recognition. • Optional: a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard for the most responsive play-along. The microphone works fine without one.
