Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have that pitch's fingering displayed and the transposed note written on the staff.

. If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them.
. Use the 'Play Note' or 'Play Trill' button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed.
. Use the mute button to access the fingerings without hearing the pitches.

Selecting a Pitch:
Using the Staff (transposed for the current instrument): Simply touch and slide up and down on the staff to select the note, slide to the right or left of the note for sharps and flats.
Using the Piano (concert pitch): drag in the area below the keyboard to move the keyboard, touch to play notes, touch & slide to change the pitch. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated as a raised value (sharps), when you glissando down, notes will be notated as lowered values (flats).
Use the up and down arrows to move chromatically up and down without touching the music staff or piano keyboard.
