Progress

Every pass you practise with Wait for Me, Listen or Follow Me is kept in the song’s practice log. The Playlist pane charts them, so you can see over days whether a passage is getting cleaner and faster.

Practice charts

Available on every platform.

Where it is

Open the Playlist pane (Practice… (⌃⌥⌘P)Practice… (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P)Practice… (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P (⌥⇧⌘P on a Mac)) opens it with the Practice band at its top). The chart, headed Progress, sits under the playlist’s steps; once the steps reach the bottom of the pane, it stays pinned there and the steps scroll under it. In an empty Playlist pane, the chart appears under the invitation to make a playlist once there’s something to chart.

What it charts

The heading says which passes you’re looking at:

A step: with a playlist on, the passes of the step playing, or of the step you picked (“step 2, Chorus”).
The loop: with the playlist off and a loop set, the passes over exactly that loop.
The song: with the playlist off and no loop, the passes over the song.

So the same passage practised as a loop and as a playlist step has two separate charts. The chart shows the latest 60 passes, oldest on the left.

Reading it

Dots are the scores, from 0 to 100 %. Green is a clean pass, amber one that isn’t. A hollow dot is a Wait for Me pass, which scores the notes rather than the timing. A pass is clean at 90 % or more; with Wait for Me, when every note was played with no wrong one.
The line in the accent colour is the speed each pass was played at, on its own scale: the slowest and fastest speeds are labelled on the right.
Days are separated by a faint line, with the date under the first pass of each.

Under the chart, a line sums it up: how many passes, the last score and its speed, the best score, and, after four passes or more, the trend: getting better, slipping, steady, or steady, and faster when the scores hold while the speed has gone up. The trend compares your latest five passes with the five before them.

The log

A pass is a lap of the loop, a pass of a playlist step, or the song played through; stopping part way keeps what you played up to there. Each one records when it was played, the passage, the speed, the score and the timing. The log belongs to the song but not to its music: it doesn’t change the song or its undo history. It keeps the latest 500 passes.

Each step’s row in the playlist also shows its last score and its best, in green when clean.
