Notography — Live Music Notation & Precision Tuner
Tune to the cent. Notate every phrase you play. Train the intonation that separates good musicians from great ones. Notography is built for everyone who cares about pitch — from brass players drilling partials, to singers working a tricky interval, to violinists hunting open-string resonance.
A serious chromatic tuner, a real-time notation engine, and a configurable metronome in one focused, beautiful app. Whatever you play or sing, Notography gives you the visual feedback that turns guesswork into muscle memory.
PRECISION TUNER
See your pitch deviation in cents in real time on a clean, high-contrast display. Adjust your reference frequency anywhere from 415 Hz (Baroque ensembles) to 444 Hz (modern European orchestras) — 415, 432, 438, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444 Hz. Sharps and flats are color-coded so you can spot tendency at a glance.
LIVE NOTATION — PLAY IT, SEE IT
Sing or play, and watch your phrase appear on a real musical stave the moment you produce it. Treble clef, bass clef, grand staff, or auto-detect. Choose your time signature and minimum note value. No recording, no transcription guessing — your performance is written down automatically as it leaves your instrument or your throat.
TEMPO MODE — METRONOME WITH NOTATION
Configurable time signatures (4/4, 3/4, 6/8, and more). Pair the metronome with live notation to verify pitch AND rhythmic placement in a single pass.
FREE MODE — A PRACTICE-ROOM SCRATCHPAD
No click, no constraints. Play, capture, review. For warm-ups, improvisation, or sketching melodic ideas the moment they arrive.
BUILT FOR EVERY MUSICIAN
BRASS & WOODWIND PLAYERS
Hold a note and watch the cents deviation; train your embouchure, air column, slide, or finger adjustments to settle pitch dead-center on demand:
• sharp 5th partial on trumpet
• flat top register on flute and piccolo
• throat-tone Bb area on clarinet
• flexible-pitch tuba and trombone partials
• voicing on saxophone overtones
• reed-pitch tendencies on oboe, bassoon, English horn
SINGERS & VOCALISTS
Sing a scale, an arpeggio, or a phrase from your part — and see it land on the stave in real time. Spot the intervals where your pitch drifts, train your ear with instant visual feedback, and build rock-solid intonation. Perfect for choral work, lead vocals, classical study, and sight-singing practice.
STRING PLAYERS
Violinists, violists, cellists, and double bassists: dial in open strings, then drill fingered intonation in any key. Watch every note render on the stave so you can correct slides, vibrato center, and double-stop tuning before they become habits.
GUITARISTS & KEYBOARD PLAYERS
Verify your piano's tuning, check your guitar or bass against a reference Hz, or capture an improvised melody as readable notation. Clef and time-signature options fit any fretted or keyboard workflow.
MUSIC TEACHERS & STUDENTS
Give students instant visual feedback — they'll hear AND see whether they're in tune and in time. A clean stave display makes Notography a powerful teaching tool from day one.
COMPOSERS & IMPROVISERS
Capture an idea the moment it lands. Hum, sing, or play it; Notography writes it down so you don't lose it to the next thought.
