  • Ring Round

    Learn a method and practise ropesight. Pull your rope with a key or tap, just as in the tower.

    It has every method in the Central Council's library, with calls, touches and a blue line that shows where you struck. It works on a phone, even with no signal once it's been opened.

    Try Ring Round

    Ring Round on a phone, ringing Plain Bob Doubles: six ringers round a circle holding their ropes, your bell, the 2, in blue, and its blue line below, crossing the treble's line in red

    StrikeCounter

    Lay a phone or tablet on the floor in the middle of the circle, and StrikeCounter listens to the bells. It scores the striking as you ring, row by row, and shows each bell early or late.

    StrikeCounter's floor display: the bells' numbers in a ring, each facing its ringer, the row's score of 94 in the middle written both ways up, and the 3rd marked 10% late and the 6th 15% early
    StrikeCounter partway through a piece on six bells: a score of 91.0 for the 81 rows so far, and each bell's own score, at handstroke and backstroke, with any that strike early or late marked

    Play the Dots

    Photograph a page of printed music, or open a PDF, and Play the Dots plays it as written. It lights each note as it sounds, and you can slow it down or loop the bars you're learning.

    For now it reads single-line tunes, and plays them on fiddle, flute, whistle, accordion or piano.

    Play the Dots on a phone, playing a photograph of a printed page of the jig Black Joke (Ascott), with the bar playing boxed in yellow and the note sounding ringed in blue
