Open a score from IMSLP, Mutopia or OpenScore, or import your own PDF from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Mark it the way you would on paper, then drill each passage at a tempo that works for you.

Mark the score like paper

Highlights, comments, pen and musical symbols go right on the staves, and the edit history can restore an earlier version.

Drill it at your own tempo

Keep the metronome going anywhere from 20 to 400 BPM, and play the reference or your take at 0.5× to 1.5× speed.
