 Can I change my name, instrument, or password information after I register?
Due to the nature of the subscription, each user may select one instrument that
cannot change for the duration of the subscription. If you need access to
melodies for more than one instrument, you will need to purchase additional
subscriptions. Individual users may update their personal information at
any time. Student users must have their administrators do this for them.
But I just signed up and ACCIDENTALLY PICKED THE WRONG INSTRUMENT!!!
Send an email to support@sightreadthis.com
and we'll take care of you.
What if I forget my password?
For individual users and administrators, click here.
If you are a student user, your director/teacher will be able to tell you your current password. If you are an administrator who needs student
passwords, please contact us at support@sightreadthis.com.
If I play more than one instrument, do I need another user logon?
Yes. We realize that this may be an inconvenience to the few students who play more than one instrument, however,
it is the only effective way for the program to accurately track the melodies you have played.
Do I need any plug-ins to see and hear the music?
Any basic web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape will allow you to
see the melodies. To hear the melodies, you may need to install a plugin
that will play MIDI files. Click here
to go to the MIDI test page. There will be instructions on that page if
your browser does not yet play MIDI files.
A melody appeared that is out of the range of my instrument. Did I do something wrong?
If this happens, please report the melody to us at support@sightreadthis.com
so we can correct the problem.
Can I print the melodies?
According to the End User License Agreement that you (or your administrator)
agreed to, the use of SightReadThis.com includes not reproducing these
copyrighted melodies in any fashion without express written permission from
SightReadThis.com. Obviously, though, we're operating on the honor system
here. Administrative users will have testing materials available to them
that have specific licenses for printing and copying.
Your program won't do everything I want it to do. Can I request new features?
YES! We will continue to update and refine the features already present on SightReadThis.com, and
plan to add new features in the future. Your ideas and comments are welcome! Use the "contact us" menu to
reach us, or email us at support@sightreadthis.com.
I play tenor sax. Will my melodies be the same as those for alto sax? What about playback? Will the melody be transposed
correctly?
All of the melodies can be played by any instrument, regardless of transposition. The playback transposition
and melody range will be based on the instrument you selected when you registered.
If I purchase a group subscription, will I be able to add new logons at a later date?
Additional logons can be purchased, but the subscription time period will be the same as the original group
subscription.
Will I be notified when my subscription
expires?
Renewal notices will be emailed to all subscribers prior to subscription expiration.
Can I run your program on a Mac/PC/UNIX-based system?
Yes – any computer with Internet access and a fairly current Web browser should work well.
We highly recommend using IE 5.0+ or Netscape 6.2+, however either IE 4+ or NS
4+
browsers should work fine.
I have a computer, but can’t get on the Internet.
Is there any way I can use your program?
Not yet. To utilize the features of SightReadThis.com, you must have Internet access.
We are researching CD ROM versions of SightReadThis.com, but no such licenses
are available at this time.
Who writes the melodies for
SightReadThis.com?
The melodies are written by composers and are NOT COMPUTER
GENERATED. Each melody was written according to a specific list of parameters (also available on this site).
The music is too small to read easily.
Is there any way to make the notes bigger?
You must change the screen resolution for
your monitor. For Windows users, right-click on the desktop, choose
"properties", and click the "Settings" tab. In the "screen area" slide
bar, move the pointer to the "more" side. Click OK.
On some of the melodies the slurs,
dynamics, double flats, etc., overlap the notes on the staff. Should I
report these to you?
Because of the extreme number of
transpositions of each melody, it is possible one passed by without being
examined carefully. Therefore, it is possible a melody, especially in the
higher levels, may have an error in editing on certain transpositions. If
any melody has become unreadable, please notify us immediately and we will
correct the problem. Include the melody level, number, and key.

Can I change the tempo of the melody
playback?
Not at this time, but we are considering
adding this feature on future versions.
