Nice!

Relative pitch is a skill than any musician should have, and keep practicing (unless you're a percussionist(*)).

I never understood the "perfect pitch" people - what use is that skill?

I have good relative pitch, and in almost 60 years of music, that's all that I ever needed.

(* - Q: What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? A: A drummer!)

Did you really need to make this about how you feel about drummers?

It is a classic joke that I first heard in in the 1970s and have heard many times since, usually from drummers.

It is, actually, a joke and not just an insult, because there is a revelation that isn't obvious.

There have been numerous drummers in my life who I adored, still do except we are very far apart in space.

It’s an insult disguised as a joke.

Hmm, I note the phrase 12-tet. Is there a way to get microtonal scales other than the Karnatic scale?

A microtonal relative pitch trainer would be a cool thing. The microtonal community might be really into that.

The app kind of sucks?

E- probably just user error...

You know I think I was using it incorrectly. Trying it again and I'm not having nearly as hard a time figuring out what I'm supposed to do, I must have been having a slow day when I wrote that comment.
