Nice job. Reminds me of the sheet music mode of Synthesia.

A couple of pieces of feedback:

- You’ll probably want to use VexFlow (or whichever notation system you’re using) to make sure that markings (pedal, mf, etc.) aren’t overlapping each other on the screen.

- I’d definitely suggest checking the range of the user’s MIDI controller and using that to recommend a playable repertoire. This is what I do in my Ear Training game "Lend Me Your Ears" (61-key MIDI controllers are very popular.)
