(I did not make it clear in the previous post that the mobile device criticism is not aimed directly at the OP's requirement.) I mentioned the lack of a "mobile" version for the benefit of the community in general because, like the OP, I myself am not transcribing on a mobile device. The issues have to do with a device's operating system and the screen size - all of which is discussed on the FAQ page.Īs I said before, I am a long time fan of Transcribe. The FAQ page uses the term "iPad/iPhone/Android" if that helps. I did mean using it on a smartphone or a tablet. This and possible solutions are discussed in the Transcribe! FAQ located at FAQ - Miscellaneous Questions about Transcribe!.

At some point during the learning "let go" of the notation and start to hear and play along. This is how the great teacher and Master cellist Pablo Casals taught. Again there is an accompanying CD with all tunes played solo by Matt - the excellent recording is very crisp and clear and true to the notation.Īnd finally just a suggestion gleaned after about 6000 hours of practice: Begin at 35 percent - learn the tunes at 35 percent with the notation.
