About this app

Tablet Music Instrument was developed as an experiment: play music with one hand on the right side of a tablet while viewing the musical score on the left. It also works on phones, though scores and measures will appear very small.

How It Works:
- Single-touch interface: one note at a time (no chords)
- Four octaves displayed on musical staffs
- One different note per measure
- Tap a measure to play the corresponding note
- Left side can show a score to follow while playing

Tablet Music Instrument can play the sounds of many instruments:
- Recorder flute, Concert (transverse) flute, Pan flute
- Clarinet, Oboe
- Violin, Guitar, Harp, Banjo
- Piano, Harpsichord, Organ
- Harmonica, Accordion, Trumpet, Vibraphone, Chimes

Score Support in Tablet Music Instrument:
- Load score files (image-based or text-based) via Android file picker
- Navigate multi-page image scores with top bar controls
- Supports text file scores created in app "Melody Notepad" v1.5+ (no images needed)
- 3 play modes for Melody Notepad scores:
- Basic: Score displayed, no cursor
- Practice: Advancing score cursor, and the next measure to tap is highlighted when playing
- Automated: Playback of the melody from the score cursor position

Example scores included, image-based and text-based.
