Introducing proportional notation

Soundslice now supports proportional notation — a way of spacing music such that all notes take up the exact same amount of space according to their rhythmic duration:

Visual overview of proportional notation

Proportional notation is useful for beginner musicians and for people with dyslexia. It also means the playhead moves at a constant rate during playback, without the normal ebbs and flows. For more pros and cons, see our new help page.

This option is available on all music sitewide. To enable it for a given slice, open the Settings menu, switch to Horizontal layout and check the “Proportional notation” checkbox:

Your notation will instantly be reformatted to use proportional spacing.

You can also control the base proportional width — how much space is allocated for each note. Simply slide this control left and right to adjust on the fly:

If you’re in a paid plan, we’ll automatically save your proportional notation settings on a per-slice basis, so that they’ll be restored next time you access the slice.

This looks fantastic. Well done.

Will it also be added to the 'Fluid' layout too? Sometimes I use soundslice for the score without the playhead just to see what goes where.
Thanks! We might add it to the non-horizontal layouts in the future (Fluid and Paged), but it's a bit trickier because of the interaction between proportional layout and the page width.
Well done, Thank you
fantastic! Really good for teaching too
Love this for helping students learn rhythm in a more natural way.

Keep up the good work :)
