Interactive pieces

There are several different types of interactive pieces in Yumu. They allow you to play back a piece at different speeds, and choose the type of backing track. You can also view the score for the music, which highlights as you play.

The options you'll see will depend on the type of piece you're viewing. Common controls are:

1) Play controls. These work just like regular player controls: play, rewind, volume. You can also make the whole piece loop by clicking the loop button.

2) Score controls. These allow you to choose which page of the score you want to view. Click the "Next" and "Back" buttons to go forwards and backwards through the score, or click on one of the dots to go to a specific page.

3) Display options. Click on "Display Options" to change how the piece displays:

• Score and instrument: Show both the score and the animated instrument to demonstrate what to play.
• Score only: Hide the instrument and show just the score.
• Instrument only: Hide the score and just show the animated instrument.

4) Playback options. Click on "Playback Options" to change how the piece sounds:

• Playback speed: Choose "Practice" for a slower speed or "Performance" to play it faster.
• Instrumentation: Select "With instrument/s" to hear the piece with your instrument part played, or "Backing track only" to hear just the accompaniment.
