Octavo Train
A note appears in the treble or bass clef; you answer on guitar, bass or the note-name keys. Short sessions, an adaptive scoreboard, everything offline.
How it works
No menus, no stressful score — just the loop that turns note reading into muscle memory.
In the treble or bass clef, within your practice range — on the staff or on the ledger lines. Never the same note twice in a row.
On the fretboard, the bass or the note names. For string instruments the note and the string both have to match — the target string is highlighted.
Right, wrong or revealed. Hear the target note or show its exact position — then the next note arrives.
Features
Both clefs, with ledger lines above and below. You set the practice range freely.
Fretboard view for guitar and four-string bass, with a selectable fret range — or note-name keys for pure reading.
Each note gets a score from speed, hit rate and misses. Weak notes come up more often, solid ones less.
By count, with a time limit, or free with no scoring. At the end: a session summary with time per note.
Switch between c′, H and C4, B4 — read it the way you learned it.
No network, no ads, no login. A setup assistant configures language, notation, instrument and practice range on first launch.
Instruments
The fretboard shows fret numbers, the nut and fret markers — so you can name where you tapped.
