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.

Homechord v3 — release notes
What shipped in Homechord v3: the Compose strip grows into a song timeline — sections, bar durations, half-bar splits, repeats and an arrangement — plus five starter forms, a caret-aware coach, structured share links, sectioned charts and exports, and an Android APK on request.

Arpèges v6 — release notes
What shipped in Arpèges v6: scales and modes join the arpeggios on one card, a new Type lock, 21 scales and modes, a session split, and an Android APK on request.
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.
Practice
Scales meet arpeggios: one drill for the whole fretboard
Arpèges now deals scales and modes off the same deck as the arpeggios. Why practising the two together — not in separate sessions — is the thing that actually moves your playing.
Theory
Voice Leading in Four Parts
How to move four independent voices smoothly between chords — common-tone retention, contrary motion, and the small steps that keep a progression singable.
Software
How We Render Chords in MDX
A build note on the Webeleon blog pipeline — how authored MDX turns into brand-styled chord symbols, why we map components instead of raw HTML, and where the safety pass fits.
Practice
Building a Daily Practice Loop
A repeatable daily practice structure — a short warm-up, one focused target, and a quick review — designed to compound small gains instead of chasing marathon sessions.
