About “Love Is Here To Stay”

- Can I sing over "Love Is Here To Stay" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
