Step-by-Step Guide

Getting Started

Learn how to transform your guitar practice from a chore into a data-driven art form.

1

Establish Your Account

When you first visit the app, you'll see the authentication screen. You have three choices:

Authentication Screen
Pro-Tip: Use Google Login if you plan to use an iPad or tablet on your music stand and a computer for bulk data entry.
Organizing your Files: In the app's settings or when using the file explorer, you can create folders to group your MIDI, PDFs, and MusicXML files. Simply include a slash in the filename (e.g., Bach/Cello_Suite_1.pdf) to create a virtual folder structure.
2

Build Your Repertoire

Everything starts with your pieces. You can add them one by one or import an existing list.

Adding a Piece manually

Click the Add Piece button in the left panel. Enter the Composer and Composition name.

Batch Import

Have a long list of pieces elsewhere? Click Upload Repertoire (Cloud icon) in the header. You can upload a simple text file with one piece per line in the format: Composer - Piece Title.

Organize with Saved Lists

Don't practice everything at once. Use Saved Lists to group pieces for specific goals (e.g., "Bach Program" or "Technical Routine").

Starting Fresh: Click the blue "New List" button in the Repertoire header to clear your current view. This lets you build a new selection from your entire library without any distractions.
  1. Click "New List" to start with a blank slate.
  2. Search for and add the pieces you want into your library view.
  3. Click Save as List in the library header.
  4. Give your list a name.
  5. To see this list as a tab at the top for quick switching, open the Saved Lists Modal (List icon in header) and click the Star next to your list's name.

Create Your Daily Practice Session

The right panel (Today's Session) is your workspace for the day. Building your routine is as easy as moving pieces from your library.

When you click Finish Session, your work is saved to the Practice Diary and the session is cleared for tomorrow.

Attach External Files & Scores

You can attach sheet music (PDFs), reference recordings (MIDI), or interactive scores (MusicXML) to any piece using local upload or Google Drive.

Review Your History

Ever wonder when you last practiced that difficult piece? The Practice Diary has the answers.

  1. Click the Calendar icon in the header.
  2. Type the name of a piece in the search bar.
  3. The diary will filter to show every day you worked on that piece.
  4. Measure Summary: Look at the top of the filtered view to see a merged summary of all measures you've practiced (e.g., "1-60").

Spaced Repetition (SRS)

For difficult excerpts, use the SRS system. It will automatically remind you to practice specific bars before you forget them.

  1. Open a PDF score or MusicXML.
  2. Use the Excerpt Tool to crop a specific difficult passage.
  3. Give it a title and tuning.
  4. Practice it daily. Toggle between Grid View and List View (Brain icon in header) to find your excerpts easily.
  5. Click the Pencil icon to edit the title, composer, or detailed technical description.

Take the app with you on stage or to the practice room by installing it on your device.

On Desktop: Use the "Install" button in your browser's address bar.

On Mobile: Use "Add to Home Screen" in your browser's sharing menu.

Refresh Hint: If you need to refresh your data or update the app version manually, press CMD+SHIFT+R (or CTRL+SHIFT+R) while the PWA is active.
