Practice and Readiness

Use reveal levels, stumbles, confidence, spaced repetition, and drills to make songs stick.

Reps, not forms

A rep is one honest attempt at a song. During the rep, the only thing you do is play and tap when you stumble. Repriso handles the math afterward.

Each rep records:

  • reveal level
  • support mode
  • start and end time
  • duration
  • stumble count
  • line-level stumble points when available

Reveal levels

Reveal levels control how much help stays visible.

  1. Full chart support
  2. Fill-in-the-blanks
  3. First-letter or initial cues
  4. Chords only
  5. Structure only
  6. Blind

Level 3 and above count as active recall. That means you are retrieving the song instead of simply recognizing it on the screen.

Tap stumbles honestly

A stumble is any moment that would interrupt the performance: a forgotten line, missed chord, wrong entrance, blank, or recovery point.

Tap once when it happens and keep going. The tap is not a punishment. It is the signal Repriso uses to show trouble spots and schedule the next rep.

Confidence score

Confidence is a 0-100 score based on recent rep cleanliness and memory decay. It uses a 14-day half-life, so a song naturally fades unless you refresh it.

Higher reveal levels matter more because they prove stronger recall.

Practice queue

The practice queue ranks songs by urgency. Songs can surface because they are overdue, because they are new, or because an upcoming gig includes them.

Use the queue as a finite daily practice set. A good session is short and focused; Repriso even nudges you after longer sessions because distributed practice works better than marathon cramming.

Tools inside practice

Repriso includes focused tools for different memory problems:

  • Section drill: isolate a verse, chorus, bridge, or other section.
  • Lyric recall typing: test whether you can retrieve words without seeing them.
  • Song story: write memory cues that connect the song to images, scenes, or personal associations.
  • Stumble ladder: see how recent reps and readiness are moving.
  • Heatmap: find the lines or sections that keep causing trouble.

Best practice

Do not stay at Level 1 forever. Move down a reveal level as soon as the song feels comfortable. The productive zone is where you can mostly get through it, but you still have to reach.
