How to use Music-Forte

Two systems, three guides, and a FAQ. Pick the surface you're on and go.

Guides

The chat-driven assistant. Modes, conversations, library, composer, memory, voice, slash commands, attachments.

The manuscript editor. Four editing modes (Score, Code, Story, Phrase), the bench and step bar, hum + contour input, voices mixer, comments, collaboration.

The Practice (Follow) feature. How the score listens to you, what the audit shows, how the AI coaching narrative works, and how to read the per-bar heatmap.

Microphone permissions, browser support, offline behaviour, billing, account deletion, what to do when something unexpected happens.

Device-specific notes

Music-Forte runs on phones, tablets, and desktops. The shell adapts to the viewport at three tiers:

Phone

< 768px

Five tabs: Today, Make, Library, Practice, You. Single-pane conversation with sticky composer; mode is a scope you change rarely from the You tab.

Tablet

768–1279px

Landscape: mode rail + thread + draggable canvas. Portrait: top-tab mode picker + thread + canvas as a slide-up sheet.

Desktop

≥ 1280px

Three-pane atelier: mode rail, context sidebar, thread + canvas with resizable splitter. FORTE Notation gets a full panel system (Inspector, Voices, Story, Code, Phrase).

Curriculum alignment

The platform is aligned to the NCDC 2025 syllabus for Ugandan secondary music and to UNEB Practical Music assessment guidelines. The teacher-mode prompts pull from a curated NCDC corpus; the sight-reading library and set-works catalogue cover Western classical works and Ugandan traditions (baakisimba, bwola, embaire) on equal footing.
