- Pro jazz trombonist here. All there is to usefully say about piano roll notation, with or without colours has pretty much already been said. And if you want more (much more) detail, then Tantacrul (designer on MuseScore) has done a great video.

The only useful head's up I can give is the current position marker on your playback is quite a long way behind the audio, around 1-2 beats on the one piece I tried.

- This is one of the cases where choosing a better palette would improve the visualizations
As now, there's no relationship between colors beyond different notes, different colors
Perhaps choosing similar colors by distance on the circle of fifths or similar

- very cool! hookpad/hooktheory/theorytab [1] is a similar idea, but I think the annotations are created using their tool instead of sourced from MuseScore.

- I love that breakdown you did here: https://vpavlenko.github.io/d/ Very cool!
Also makes me jump right into strudel.cc and experiment with chords, progressions and melodies.
- Have you ever explored the idea of shaped notes?
There's multiple different approaches with both 4-shape and 7-shape systems being common. But the point is that your color system seems largely correlated to it, and there has been research done on the shape note system.

- > This simplifies visual analysis: chords like [uncopyable image of color bars]
and other structures become visible, scores become readable and interpretable.
The colors are hard-coded to pitches, and so change upon transpositions. For instance a V-I cadence in different keys is functionally the same, but will be colored differently.
It does help highlight common tones between nearby chords.
Other than that, it's not doing anything for me in terms of seeing function.

- Why use this piano-roll visualization rather than just color coding notes on sheet music? You lose a lot of other information in the process (like, almost all of it).

- Seems to crash Safari on iOS, which is pretty rare for me tbh.
Not sure what did there but it could either be profitable or annoying for you.

- Don't you need a license to publish copyrighted melodies?
