Mercado Slots

Mercado Slots functions as a specialized documentation system for chamber musicians, integrating repertoire tracking, rehearsal logging, bar-specific annotation, and pitch-recognition exercise within a single software environment.

The interface features a visual design based on a cream parchment palette, burgundy navigation elements, and hand-drawn ink glyphs. Section navigation is managed via a bottom-sheet selector without bottom bar components. System operations function without audio signals, active timers, or automated page advancement mechanisms.

The Mercado Slots is structured into four primary functional divisions. The Pieces section catalogs musical works by composer, opus designation, movement list, and target tempo in beats per minute. The Sessions section manages rehearsal logs segmented by individual instrument part and movement. Users register elapsed practice duration in minutes to monitor weekly accumulation, alongside textual notes regarding practice attempts, movement adjustments, and intonation stability.

The Cues section acts as a measure-indexed repository for technical and expressive performance notes, including bowing directives, intonation flags, tempo adjustments, and dynamic markings. Notes filed in this module are tied to measure numbers and specific pieces, causing filed entries to surface automatically when accessing the designated work.

The Score Catch module contains a five-minute pitch discrimination activity designed to train note recognition reflexes. Pitch letters descend vertically across a musical staff. A system prompt designates which letter constitutes the target and which serve as decoys. Input is registered by pressing the display screen only when a falling glyph matches the active prompt as it enters a highlighted horizontal band.

All pieces, rehearsal sessions, and performance cues persist exclusively on local device memory. The system operates without user accounts, cloud synchronization, or remote network transmission.
