Make it flow guide
CADENCE — MAKE IT FLOW START Open a piece in Library → Practise this piece. Choose a reviewed 1–8-bar phrase and an opening tempo you would like to reach comfortably. Play the opening pass, then choose Make it flow in the practice panel. Existing saved sessions can use it during their Focus step or after More supported practice. The full score stays visible; only the loop is highlighted. JOINS Cadence offers a loop containing the bars on both sides of a barline. It ranks a join when the opening showed a late, early, missing or different first entrance. Why this join? explains the observation. It does not infer fingering, hand position or physical technique. Complete ties may expand a loop beyond two bars. The Passage selector also offers the whole opening phrase. A one-bar opening can still use tempo and support practice, but has no internal barline. This version uses complete regular bars; choose a phrase after any pickup. Arbitrary beat-length loops are not added. TEMPO AND SUPPORT Choose the exercise, tempo, click and one or three passes. Either-hand piano practice can retain Cadence’s partner part or turn it off. Both-hand and rhythm practice have no partner. Each loop has a fresh full-bar count-in and saves separately. Settings stay fixed during a pass and throughout requested loops. After two consecutive comparable completed attempts within 24 hours, Cadence may offer five bpm more, five bpm less, or less support. It counts entrances rather than chord size. At least 80% on-time entrances in each pass, with at most one extra press, can suggest an increase. Repeated results below 60%, or more than two extra presses, can suggest slowing down. These are transparent practice rules, not calibrated proficiency estimates. Mixed results invite another pass or a different join. Callback-arrival MIDI timing and changed calibration offsets cannot justify a tempo recommendation. Tempo ranges from 40 bpm to your chosen opening tempo. At the opening tempo, steady one-hand attempts may suggest removing the partner. The click then moves through every beat, each bar’s first beat, alternate bar starts, and count-in only. With alternate bar starts, the intervening bar has no click. The original full-bar count-in always remains. You can choose any setting without earning it, and every suggested change needs your action. RETURN AND LISTEN Choose Back into the phrase when ready. For two-staff piano, make at least one both-hand focus attempt first. The return restores the surrounding phrase and opening tempo, with partner and click off. Your piano take is saved for Shape the phrase. Listen, compare takes with the same source and support conditions, and leave an optional reflection about how it felt. This reflection does not alter the review schedule. The independent delayed return remains separate. SAVING AND SCOPE Join selection, tempo and support survive relaunch. Results retain the exact source and support used; changing a join does not rewrite an older take. Failed saves keep a pending pass in memory for retry, and source edits block applying it to different music. Practice format 12 migrates older data and protects it from older writers. Quit an older Cadence before opening this release. Uses the existing MIDI pitch/entrance assessment in 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4, for one staff or a supported two-staff piano part. This release does not add guitar microphone assessment, compound metre, technique grading or a live software piano monitor. Use your piano’s own tone. Physical FP-10 testing remains pending.
