It’s a cool idea, but is there no way to hear the actual notes?

I've thought about adding something that would vamp certain chords, say. But sounds like you mean something different... like, play the pitches in a scale?

I very much would like some way to preview what the sound and feel of certain combinations of chords and scales/tones is, but I haven't quite figured out how it might work.

Perhaps something like alphatab could work?

For now I just mean something simple like playing whichever note you press on the piano/fretboard.
Ok, I took a stab at this!

- All the notes on fingering charts can be clicked and they play a sound

- Chords get a little playback button

- Compose mode gets its own playback controls

The sound is very basic, I'll see if I can fix that next.
