The Wellerman

Traditional — public domain · E minor

The sea shanty that conquered the internet. Repeated notes with dotted rhythms — every one wants its own fresh bow.

Setup

How it follows you

The playhead stops at each note until you play it. Best for learning the notes — take as long as you like.

Sets how fast the playhead moves between notes once you've played them.

How strict

Within 25 cents counts as in tune.

Click

A click through the song needs a steady beat, and there isn't one when the playhead waits for you.

Headphones keep the click and the guide melody out of the microphone. On speakers, both get scored as if you played them.

Timing calibration

If the trace consistently sits ahead of or behind the notes, nudge this. Positive values treat your playing as later than it was measured.
