Every bell. Right on cue.
Turn an arrangement into a guide the whole group can follow. Each bell has its exact pitch, and each person has a clear moment to play.
Assign every note
Set up to 16 participants and review unassigned notes, bell changes and overlaps before you begin.
Rehearse together
Adjust speed, count-in and repeating sections. Guide sound is optional; the group follows a single device.
Keep your pieces
Save up to 20 pieces in the local library and share JSON backups using the system share sheet.
What to keep in mind.
Cues mark the start of a note, not when to damp a bell. You need physical handbells and someone to review the arrangement. The app does not import audio, PDF or MusicXML, or synchronize multiple devices.
