Took the words of the Games Folder reply post right out of my mouth. Of course, I got here a day later LOL. Thanks here and buttoned for the visual fix, santod. You've made a cool and useful musical program even cooler and more useable.

Played with SightReder update last night. Take everything I said yesterday and double it. I may finally learn how to read bass clef notes after all these years LOL.

I agree-- Thanks for this fantastic app. Are there any other apps out there that you can recommend for a beginner? I, too, have always played by ear and seriously lack in sight reading-- I was looking for any kind of program that would tie in note value/duration as well... anyone?
