The player offers two ways to explain notation: the overview lists symbols found in the open piece. The active explanation mode reads one particular note or rest right where it appears in the score.
Open "Symbols in this piece"
Open a piece and tap or click the ? button at the top. "Symbols in this piece" collects, for example, clefs, time and key signatures, dynamics, articulation and pedal marks that occur in this particular piece. On a large score, "Finding symbols …" may appear briefly.
Switch on "Explain in the score"
Choose "Explain in the score" at the bottom of the symbol overview. The dialog closes and the bar asks you to tap a note or rest. Until the score is ready, it reads "Available when the score is ready" instead.
Tap a note or rest
A short tap or mouse click on the notehead or rest shows the written pitch, note or rest value, and context such as hand, voice and bar. An accidental attached to the note is included in its name, for example C sharp or E flat. If several notes lie close together, you can choose the one you meant.
Keep scrolling without selecting anything
Dragging a finger to scroll is not treated as a tap. A two-finger gesture does not select a note either. The score therefore stays movable while explanations are on.
Leave explanation mode
Choose "Done", tap the now-active ? button again, or press Escape on a keyboard. Focus returns to the ? button; the player controls then operate the normal practice run again.
Good to know:
In the current version, notes and rests with a safely identified notehead or rest mark can be tapped directly. Clefs, time signatures, slurs, dynamics, articulation and other signs are explained in the overview, but not yet one by one at their position. If Klavissimo cannot assign a tap safely, it says so instead of guessing.
Your data:
Explanation only reads the score that is already open. Your taps and the explanations shown are not stored as practice results.
