How to use it
Start with one key.
Pick the tonic, then choose the scale. Rytune spells the notes as music notes rather than showing only pitch classes, so F major uses B♭ and F♯ major uses E♯ where the scale requires it.
Use Play scale to hear the notes ascending. The keyboard highlights the same pitch classes across two octaves, which makes it easier to move from theory into an instrument pattern.
