A build note on Arpèges — why the whole design bends around getting from a cold start to your first arpeggio rep in a single tap, and what I gave up to protect that.

Arpèges v7 — release notes
What shipped in Arpèges v7: gesture navigation. Swipe back through the cards you drew, slide the fret window a fret at a time along the neck, with steppers and arrow keys for every move.
Theory
ii–V–I everywhere: the progression hiding in your playlists
The ii–V–I is the most common cadence in Western harmony. Here is how it works in C, how to move it to any key by function, and where it keeps hiding.
Practice
Practice you can move through
Arpèges v7 adds two gestures — slide the fret window up the neck, swipe back to the card you just nailed. Both come from one idea: practice should never be a one-way street.
Theory
A progression isn't a song
Four looping chords are one section of a song, not the song. What bars, phrases, repetition, and forms actually do — and how Homechord v3 came to model them.
Theory
An arpeggio is a chord taken apart
An arpeggio is just the notes of a chord played one at a time. Here is how to build one from a triad, name its tones, and find it on the fretboard.

Software
One workshop, three tools — the new Webeleon
Webeleon is now a one-person workshop making practice software for musicians — what changed, the three tools I ship, and how I use them every week.
