Practice Tracking

Practice Tracking

NoteHound automatically tracks how long you spend practicing each project. The time is visible in the Practice column (right side of the Loop Panel) and accumulates across sessions.

What Gets Tracked

The Practice column shows two timers:

• Total Practice Time — large monospaced bold display (HH:MM:SS). Persists across sessions.
• Session Time — smaller monospaced display. Resets each time you launch the app.

Both update in real time while audio is playing.

Tracking Modes

Tap the gear icon in the Practice column to open the tracking mode sheet. Choose from:

• Any Playback — the timer runs whenever audio is playing, regardless of whether a loop is active
• Loops Only — the timer only runs while playing inside an active loop
• Loops + Sections — the timer runs during loops or section playback

Choose the mode that fits your workflow. Most players use Loops Only to capture focused drilling rather than background listening.

Resetting

Tap the counterclockwise arrow (reset button) in the Practice column. A confirmation dialog prevents accidental resets: “Reset Practice Time? This will reset the total practice time to zero. This cannot be undone.”

Per-Project History

Practice time is stored per project. Each project has its own independent total. There is no global dashboard across projects, so use the total time as a rough guide to how much work you’ve put into a particular song.

Tip: If you leave the app running while not playing, pause the audio to avoid inflating your session time when using Any Playback mode.
