Would it be possible to display the correct answers if one cannot figure it out? Right now you have to just start over.

The tricky thing is that there can be more than one correct answer -- and unfortunately, sometimes you can choose the "wrong" starting note so that your counter-melody is fine for a few notes, but then there will be no way to continue.

That's part of how counterpoint works, though -- and that's why there's a button to delete notes from your response. It's not an error to remove a note (or even all of them!) if you have gotten yourself into a corner.

Fortunately, as you practice more the whole process gets a lot quicker, and you can scan ahead to see if there will be a tricky part coming up so you can lead into it safely.

I do hope to put the option for hints in future versions, since it'd be nice to click a button and see all possible options for the next note (if there are any!).

Thanks for the feedback!
