FolkScore Harmony and Counterpoint

Give any tune a second part: a traditional harmony that moves with the tune, or a counterpoint, a busy line of its own that weaves against it. Photograph a tune or paste it in ABC, choose your instrument, and the part is written out under the tune. Then press play: the tune plays, and you play the second part.

You play

Paste a tune on the left and press Write the second part.

Click any note in the second part, or the tune note above it, to try other notes there: the list starts with the ones that sound best against the tune and move most easily from the notes either side. Play gives a one-bar count-in, then follows the repeats. Choose whether you play the harmony or the tune, and the other part plays with you.
