Music references should work for every player. Here is what we do about it — and how to tell us when it falls short.

What’s built in

  • Every color theme in the header picker is contrast-checked in CI against WCAG 2.x thresholds — including for common color-vision deficiencies.
  • All interactive controls — chord charts, fretboard cells, playback buttons — are keyboard-reachable with visible focus and proper ARIA states.
  • Chord and fretboard diagrams mirror for left-handed players via the header’s Lefty toggle.
  • Pages carry a skip link, one H1, and a screen-reader live region for dynamic announcements.
  • Audio never autoplays; everything is tap-to-hear.

Known limits

The fretboard explorer and chord playback are inherently visual and aural tools; their underlying data (notes, frets, tunings) is always also presented as text on the same page.
