How to make hand signs like this : do OO re / \ la /\ /\
Yes! Tap the gear (Settings), then turn on Hand Signs. Every note gets its solfège hand sign underneath: Do, Re, Mi and all the way up. Happy composing!
Mr. Rob, can you make the bell heads bigger, please? Thank you! -Seun
Thank you, Seun! Making the bell noteheads bigger, like in My First Songbook, is on my list. Until then, tap the gear and set Noteheads to Bells.
Done, Seun! The bell noteheads are bigger now. Tap the gear, set Noteheads to Bells, and open any song. Thank you for asking (twice!), it was a great idea.
Mr. Rob, whenever I press Play and when it gets to a certain note, it blips. Can you please fix this? Thank you! - Seun
It should be better today but definitely let me know if it's happening again
When I go to print the songs from compose it doesn't show the chords after the first page because of the title bar up top. I have tried all sorts of ways to get it to show up and there doesn't seem to be a way. I think it is something that needs changed in the coding. Thanks, Julie
Thanks Julie, and sorry for the slow reply. That's a bug on our side, not something you're doing. We're fixing it now and will post here the moment it's in.
Fixed, Julie! You were exactly right: the bar at the top of the editor was printing on every page and covering the first line of chords. It's gone from the printout now, so every page shows its chords. Thank you for spotting it!
Thank you so. much for this! I'd like to be able to compose in different keys. That would be fantastic!
You asked, we built it! Compose has key signatures now: tap the gear and turn Key Signature on, and the sharps or flats show at the start of every line, and the notes spell themselves correctly for that key (Eb in flat keys, D# in sharp keys). Minor keys too. Thank you for the idea!
Mr. Rob, can you add notes like ti-tis, tri-o-las, and ti-ka-ti-kas, please? Thank you! -Seun
Done, Seun! Compose can write ti-tis (eighth notes), tri-o-las (triplets) and ti-ka-ti-kas (sixteenths) now. Show me what you make!
Mr. Rob, can you put a lower and higher range of notes, please? I was making "The Imperial March", but I realized I don't have enough notes. So can you expand it, please? Thank you! -Seun
Great song choice, Seun! Two ways to get more notes: tap the gear and set Scale to Chromatic to get all the sharps and flats, and set Staff to Grand to add a whole bass clef underneath for the low notes. Can't wait to hear your Imperial March!
Mr. Rob, I also agree with @abigail_apraku about the solfege hand-signs and can you make the bell heads bigger like in MFS1. Thank you! -Seun
Hi Seun! Thank you for all your amazing ideas, I read every one. Hand signs are already in there: tap the gear, then turn on Hand Signs, and the solfège hand signs show up under every note. And for bell noteheads, set Noteheads to Bells. Making them bigger, like in My First Songbook, is on my list!
This is coming on so well. Brilliant. Thanks. Maybe an option to take away the colour (for advancing sight-reading)?
oh good callll!
A TON landed this weekend: 🎸 Perform Mode — your compositions now scroll right-to-left like a real Prodigies Performance Track. Hit "Play Performance Track" on any song. Total game changer. 🎼 Chords in every key — pick a key signature or just type the chord (Em, F#7…). Thanks Seun! 🕒 New time signatures — 3/4 and 6/8 join 4/4 (Für Elise, here we come). 🔊 Rebuilt sound engine — no more blips, clicks, or stuttery starts. 🎵 Song versions — everyone's Twinkle Twinkles now group together like Ultimate Guitar: one listing, best version first, all takes one tap away. Add your own version of anything! 🔒 Public / Unlisted / Private — you choose who sees each song. ✨ Polish everywhere — cleaner beams on big jumps, fixed overlapping 2nds, correct hand-sign fonts, new bell art, full-screen playback on song pages.
Just wanted to jump in again and say how awesome this tool is. And thank you for all the updated features! They are working so well!
YES! You're so welcome. TONS of updates just landed too so keep poking around - it's getting awesome!
Mr. Rob, can you please add more chords to the Chord area in the Settings and can you put different time signatures for different songs? When I make particular songs, I realize there's not enough chords. And when I try to put the right tempo for a song, the song sounds funny. It happened a few weeks after I went to Compose. I was making Fur Elise on Compose. I was using the book "My First Chromatic Songbook", I got to Fur Elise and I saw the time signature 6/8. I looked on Google and searched "How many BPM is Fur Elise". Gave me an answer, but not the one I was looking for. For chords, it also happened with Fur Elise. At the beginning of the sons, there's an E Major and you only have E Minor. Please add these list of chords today: A major, E Major, C minor, D major, D major 7, C major 7, C# major, G# major, and Bb minor. Thank you so, so, so much for what you do and until next time... Thank you! - Seun
Yes! Chord support for each key signature is coming soon. As is some kind of key changer so itll show the chords based on whatever key you're in. Great feedback Seun!! Keep it coming. Gonna push a lot of updates this weekend so stay tuned.
MORE CHORDS have landed!!!
Will there be a more advanced tool allowing changes in key signatures and time signatures?
I added 3/4 and 6/8 and more chords for other key signatures. But i haven't tried adding true key signature support yet - I'll work on that next
This tool is awesome! Thank you so much for creating this!
You're so welcome!!
I wonder if published songs can automatically scroll like the Prodigies videos, so that kids can play through the song without having to move back and forth?
YES!! This was a great call. V1 of Performance Mode is live now - try it!!!
Found a bug that was preventing publishing this morning (of course I find it AFTER sending the launch email) but it's been worked out and publishing should be back on track!!
How do I get a dotted quarter note? I see that I can drag the length of the note to create a half or dotted half note, but it won't let me drag to create a dotted quarter. Thanks!
What's up Prodigies!! Please help us test, break, improve and enhance our new Compose Tool with any errors, bugs or improvements you come across! Happy musicing!! Mr. Rob
