Last updated August 18, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By using the Services in any manner, including browsing the website, creating an account, logging a practice session, or using any feature, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Age Requirement. You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Services. If you are based in the European Economic Area or a jurisdiction with similar regulations, you may only use the Services if you are over the age at which you can lawfully provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country, or if verifiable parental consent has been provided.

Description of Services

MelodyLog is a practice logbook for musicians. You can log practice sessions, mark favorite composers and works, and watch your repertoire grow across a catalog of tens of thousands of composers and hundreds of thousands of works. The Services include the website, your private practice records, statistics, and the repertoire map.

2.1 How Practice Data Works

When you log a practice session, we store it on our servers and display it back to you — in your history, statistics, and repertoire map. Your practice logs and favorites are private to your account and are never shown to other users.

2.2 Free Service and Future Paid Features

The Services are currently provided free of charge. If we introduce paid features, we will update these Terms, publish pricing on the website, and notify registered users with reasonable notice before any charge applies.

2.3 Pre-release and Beta Features

We may designate certain Services or features as pre-release, beta, or experimental ("Pre-release Versions"). Pre-release Versions are provided "as-is," may contain defects, and are not guaranteed to be made generally available. We may discontinue or modify Pre-release Versions at any time without liability.

User Content and Practice Logs
