TideToneSection loops
Loop a handpan phrase in landscape practice
Tap a section to repeat it, or tap a second section to loop the range between them. In iPhone landscape and iPad landscape full-screen practice, swipe the horizontally scrolling score to choose a playback starting point.

What works on each device
On iPhone, open a score and rotate the phone to landscape. On iPad, rotate to landscape, then use the eye button to enter full-screen practice. The score scrolls horizontally, which gives a longer view of the phrase you are about to repeat.
The section chips along the top follow the playback chain. A repeated section can therefore appear more than once: each chip represents that occurrence in the order the score will play.
Select one section or a section range
- Use a score with named sections, then tap a section chip, such as A. It becomes a one-section loop and playback aligns with the start of that section.
- While one section is selected, tap a different chip, such as B. TideTone loops from the earlier selected occurrence through the later one, including both end sections.
- When a multi-section range is selected, tap any chip to reset the loop to that one section.
- Tap the same single selected chip again to clear the selection and return to global playback.
Practice with section A and B
If section A already contains two bars, use it as a compact two-bar exercise. Select A and listen three times: first to hear its shape, second while marking the pulse with one hand, and third while playing only the notes you can place comfortably.
Then, while A remains selected, tap B. The loop now includes A through B, so you can hear whether B answers, extends, or changes the idea. This is a section-based range, not an arbitrary bar range.
Does a swipe set the loop boundary?
No. Swiping moves the current playback position, which is useful for looking closely at a point in the score. The loop boundary comes from the section chips: one chip loops one section; a second chip makes an inclusive range between the two section occurrences.
A note about library scores
Scores in My Scores can be created and managed by you. Pro Library scores are intended for playback and practice; editing, sharing, and export are intentionally unavailable for those scores. That distinction matters when you later want to pass a score to someone else or make a video.
