Chant Tools

I’ve used this program a fair amount over the years and can recommend it for simplicity and ease of use. It’s fast to find propers / ordinaries and easy to follow. Unfortunately, as others have rated, the playback feature is very buggy…. 1. If you play there appears a bar on bottom with stop/pause controls. Which works great, except that as soon as you scroll the tiniest bit it disappears, rendering it impossible to stop or pause the playback. 2. The sound cuts out sometimes (I noticed this on a whole bar but haven’t tested excessively) and it needs paused / restarted to get the sound back All in all I don’t really use the playback feature as I don’t need it (piano / keyboard app / experience make up), but I could see it being a bigger deal for others, so -1 star.

This blows all the other tools out of the water. It has the most comprehensive ordinary and propers for masses, and the best psalm tool. There are some improvements I’d make- 1- have a “simple view” and “complex view” for the psalm tone tool- all we need to select is the tone, special ending/solemn, whether it shows all the verses written out or bonded/italicized, and the psalm/canticle! 2- there is an “English” version, however, none of the psalms are in English and it would require an external source to work. 3- the propers for the Novus ordo calendar don’t sync with the calendar like the traditional calendar dates do 4- having the other hours integrated into this would be so huge! That’s all for now, but thank you so much Ben! God Bless you!

Great app except the playback function does not seem to work at all and most if not all of the clefs for the Gloria Patri are incorrectly placed. Other than that very good.
