Can I sing over "My Prerogative" 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.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "My Prerogative", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.

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

Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
