I made a software library for displaying piano music 7 years back, and recently ported it to the web (which is now easier than even ever).

It displays sheet music as you play, and let's you take snapshots of specific chords, then keeps a running list of chords as keyboard visuals (instead of just displaying sheet music).

Just a simple tool for songwriting/ figuring out songs by ear, or just understanding music key theory (which I'm admittedly a still a beginner at).

Safari on iphone I get this error when I load the page:

Could not enable WebMidi: navigator.requestMIDIAccess is not a function. (In 'navigator.requestMIDIAccess({sysex:t.sysex,software:t.software})', 'navigator.requestMIDIAccess' is undefined)

WebMIDI isn’t implemented in Safari (supposedly for [security concerns](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23676109)). Only options I know of for iOS are Scrub Web Browser and WebMIDI from the App Store
